Here's my 2 cents:
Am I against gay marriage? Yes.
Am I against a civil union between two same-sex people? Not at all.
Marriage is a union, in the eyes of God, between a man and a woman. Period. The only way to make "gay marriage" legal is for the churches to accept homosexuals... but that'll probably never happen in our lifetimes.
The word "marriage" is what's causing all the uproar. It's a religious term and all the ultra conservatives will fight with every ounce of strength (and money) they have to keep it from happening. If the homosexual community would fight for "same-sex civil unions" they'd face a less-daunting task than fighting for "gay marriage".
I believe that if two people want to "legally" join and have all the rights, protections, benefits, etc. that they receive then they should have every right to no matter their sexual preference.
