[quote=meadandale]There is no law against civil unions in California between members of any sex and you still enjoy the same legal rights as ‘married’ folk.[/quote]
And you can enjoy a frosty beer wherever you like. Just not on the beach or park. Oh by the way, your taxes still pay for the upkeep of that beach or park even though your use of that resource has been curtailed.
“Civil Unions” are an attempt to provide some of the basic legal benefits of civil marriage but not all. It’s a consolation prize at best. Second-class status.
What if they said you can enjoy a beer on the beach — but only if it is non-alcoholic. Would you could consider that the “same legal right”? Or would you feel marginalized?
