I think "civil union" is a much more practical term as it relates to the government. Marriage aka "holy matrimony" seems like it should be something that is more between a couple and their religious institution regardless of sexual orientation. I don't personally see any reason why un-related people who want to enter into a civil contract of joint ownership should be prevented from doing so. I mean straight (and sometime religious) couples get divorced all the time, and in such cases I think the legitimacy of a "Holy Matrimony" might be more questionable than same sex marriages. I think the conservative right sees this as an issue mainly due to vernacular rather than wanting to prevent a person from doing something they don't personally agree. Furthermore, I don't see why as a straight male I couldn't enter into the same civil contract with another straight male for financial or other reasons. As part of that "50% ignorant bronze age judeo-something-or-rather" I don't have a problem with gay marriages and have/had gay friends. While I may not agree with a person's choices doesn't mean I have to be a jerk about it or think any less of them. Also as a hetero sexual married man I don't have any problem letting same sex couples in on the misery... :p
(its not miserable I love my wife she's awesome, but still every relationship has its issues and marriage can intensify such issues)
