If it was about equal rights - as some claim, then whats wrong with a civil union that gives same sex people all the same "rights" as well as responsibilities?
The reason its not ok - is becuase equal rights isn't what its about. Its about finding ways to reduce the moral foundation of what the majority stands on.
I am not saying this based on a single religion - but its an attempt to weaken the entire moral fabric of our society - so that it becomes more accepting of those things that are immoral based upon the myriad of theologies, beliefs and even common sense that majority hold close.
Get someone to turn a blind eye to one thing, then it becomes easier to do the same the next time.
Its like an injustice to your neighbor - they say "well it doesn't affect you, why are you worried about it???"
And when the gestapo arrested the neighbors - the man did nothing... until finally they came for him - and there was no one left to speak out.
