Civil unions do not directly condone immorality (unlike gay "marriage",
which does).  They have a legitimate and needed purpose (my dads mom and
her brother sure could have used them).  They do not pretend to be the
same thing as marriage.  Sure it is possible to abuse them, just like
marriage.  But I would much rather have gays abusing civil unions than
have some abomination called "gay marriage".
