What exactly do u mean by civil union? Does that mean that, unlike today, there would be no governmental involvement with any partnership - no judicial or economical matters, no inheritance between couples? From the governments point of view all citizens are looked upononly as individuals?

I'll wait for your definition before I reply.

I believe he means that all that stuff you defined should be termed a "civil union" by the government that any adults can enter into.  All the stuff that is handled by the government now would still be handled by them, this just means that the stigma of marriage would be taken away from all the financial and legal aspects of it and marriage would instead be just between you, your partner, your religious comunity and your god and would have nothing to do with the government.

edit: and I want you to know that it's real hard to take you seriously with that avatar, yer just so flippin' adorable :P

Thanks for explaining.

Damn it, lol.
