Part of the problem is how the federal government defines things for social security benefits, tax purposes, etc. The federal government refers to everything as "marriage", so then you need a guarantee that they will recognize civil unions equally to marriage (or else even straight couples in states that call everything a civil union might get screwed over), and then I think a lot of gay people (myself included) would no longer have nearly as big of an issue with civil unions instead of marriages.
Holy crap, is this the church of Seinfeld? Jerry Seinfeld is a horrible comedian. I mean really obnoxious. His style is commonly lampooned as corny and unfunny.""You know when you're in an airplane and they give you peanuts and the little bags only have like 6 nuts in them? Whaaaaaat is is the deal with that?"
