I'm going to go ahead and show my ignorance here: I had never heard of a civil union before it suddenly became legal for gay men and women to get them in vermont, arizona(i think) and hawaii. Is that when a justice of the peace at the courthouse does it, as opposed to a religious service? Because the way a lot of latinos do it, is they get the justice of the peace to marry them (I guess he doesn't marry them, only 'civil unionize' them, heh), then they go and have a big old wedding in a regular church.
So second question is: If that indeed is what it is, how do your rights differ from having a justice of the peace 'civil unionize' you and a priest marry you?
