How does marriage differ
from civil unions?
7.) Although California recently had a big setback, same-sex marriage is moving along elsewhere. Why not leave it up to the states?
There are currently 1,138 federal rights associated with marriage that are denied to same-sex couples, even if they can get married at the state level. Furthermore, one's right to visit a spouse in the hospital should not change when one crosses a state border. This is our country and we oppose discrimination written into federal laws.
