If gays want a civil union for legal reasons, I say let them. I really don't care, just don't call it a marriage. A civil union is blessed by the government, a marriage is blessed by God.
The only thing that bothers me is that if gays started marrying, then some guy can come out and say "I want to marry 3 women at once." Then another guy can say "I want to marry my cousin" (most likely a Vols fan). Then another guy can say "I want to marry my sheep". How can you allow one and say no to the others?
A civil union is fine with me - I don't need the marriage part anyway. Your second statement always comes up in arguments. I think that two people who love each other and show a committment is not as outlandish as a person wanting to marry a sheep. Let's be realistic here.
