You don't care about anyone else's beliefs as long as you don't have to change a thing, right? Changing the legal term to civil union does nothing at all to you, but you're still against it.
It's just a legal term. I'm struggling to understand why it's such a big deal to you, when it changes nothing for you, but doing this change respects the beliefs of fundamental Christians while opening the door for them to support gay marriage as a legal institution.
