However, and I could be wrong, I think the union you (and other homosexuals) want is just one that is recognized by the government much like "marriage" is among heterosexuals.

I'm all about getting the church separated from the state, as I hate hearing political speeches that bring god / religion into the mix. Fight against that, against what a "union" of two individuals mean and perhaps that'll work.

However, trying to re-work a religious covenant between a man and woman to also include a man & man / woman & woman is pretty much insane.
