The government recognized institution of marriage has very little resemblance to holy matrimony. There are similarities, but fundamentally two separate concepts.
The same is true for Same gender and opposite gender couples. Not to say that either is better or worse than the other, but the inability to comprehend the difference is only proof of how "sex education" has failed to communicate some very basic information.
Regardless of how anyone feels about pro-creation it directly effects the lives of every living, breathing, human being on the planet, and not something that can be swept under a rug. After all, there is a reason why we want young pregnant women to get married and it's not because we like to go to parties, lol. Us old fashioned folks call it "doing the right thing". Which translates as, we believe it's right for a man to be responsible for his family as opposed to burdening the welfare system. We believe that a child needs two parents to be a healthy, well adjusted citizen. We believe that a child has a right to a name that be identified with a medical history or ancestry, ( That info you put on medical forms and college applications). So we encourage this behavior by having them sign a legally bond document known as a marriage certificate.
However, same gender couples also deserve the same rights under the law. But with same gender couples there is a different set of needs and requirements. Like the "aids confidentiality Act" enacted through ACLU and the LGBT to fight discrimination. A very real, very basic need when there are teens committing suicide and the high susceptibility among gay men. This is good thing........for same gender couples. But blood test for an opposite gender couple could at least create awareness and possible prevention of disease, disability, and death to a pregnant woman and/or her children. Equally important issues, but very different.
And here another example: Two sisters, both divorced, both have children. They pool their money together to buy a house. They live there for 20 years and raise their children together. They have the same concerns as any other same gender couple. If one dies, the will loose her home because she will have to sell it pay the taxes.
If we allow those related to marry we intentionally subject children to deformities and disabilities if its an opposite gender couple. But if they are not allowed to marry, then they face discrimination.
So here is the answer. Civil partnerships should be as unique to the specific needs and right of same gender couples as marriage is to opposite gender couples. Obviously you can expect to get the same results in a few years an institution like marriage that has been around for centuries. But I believe that if LGBT people spent as much time, effort and money to advocate for the amendments or rights they need instead of pissing in my yard..........
