FALSE...civil unions do not replace the benefits of marriage...
What Are the Differences between Marriage and Civil Unions?
There are significant differences between the benefits and responsibilities of marriage and civil unions. People who are married usually enjoy more benefits than those in civil unions, including:
- See more at: Marriage Compared to Civil Unions LegalMatch Law Library
- Legal recognition of the relationship in other states
- The ability to divorce in any state, regardless of where married
- Tax benefits available to married couples only
- Immigration benefits when petitioning for a non-citizen spouse
- Federal benefits, such as social security, medical, and life insurance
Gays were offered a Civil Union with EVERY SINGLE BENEFIT OF A MARRIAGE.
Every one. Every single one.
And they refused.
Your post is nothing but lies.
Your admission is that gays deserve marriage equality in every aspect except using the word.
