I'm not sure if your making fun of me or not. But to be honest lets not call something it isn't. Marriage by definition was between a man and wife. Changing the definition doesn't make you anymore equal then you were with the pruposed Gay Union's. A name is a name and the practice is practiced by religious groups. So yah legally it's exactly the same except the name, in the eyes of the Government its equal.
Changing the definition and then forcing all the religious groups to recognize the new definition isn't equality its persecution. Now some have argued that Marriage isn't a religious institution saying that their was gay unions in Greece and Rome back in the day. But Marriage was started as a religious institution and the definition has been their for thousands of years. You can't just up one day and decide your going to change the meaning and force all the religious groups to recognize it etc...etc..
So yes its seperate but equal. Its like you have a dog and a cat. You love both equally but they are different. Now should you call both dogs? No they are seperate but treated equally the same way a gay union and marriage were going to be the same in the eyes of the Government.
