Why No State, Including Colorado, Should Accept “Civil Unions”

Camber, did you not notice that I said FEDERAL? I love your Texas Sharpshooting. It is the federal law that doesn't recognize a same sex union. Go look up 1 USC § 7 - DEFINITION OF “MARRIAGE” AND “SPOUSE” If a same sex couple is legally married in a state that allows same sex unions, the federal government doesn't. When should I expect to see you protesting in DC?

Note: This testimony was provided to the Colorado House Judiciary Committee on May 3, 2012 concerning Colorado S.B. 002, a proposed “civil unions” bill.

Well-meaning folks, including legislators, who oppose redefining marriage, yet support civil unions and domestic partnerships for same-sex couples, do so with the mistaken belief that both sides of the marriage debate will be satisfied with this apparent compromise. In practice, however, neither side is happy. And more importantly, as a legal matter, civil union laws absolutely undermine the case for marriage.

Make no mistake about it; a vote for this bill is a vote for same-sex “marriage.”...
