What's the difference between a civil union, and marriage?

Where a difference doesn't exist, does the word used still matter to a gay couple?
Yes.

North Carolina last week voted to ban gay marriage. The measure that passed also bans any kind of same sex domestic unions from having legal status so civil unions in that state are now also not allowed for gay people. Also, in Colorado they recently had a measure that would have allowed civil unions for gay couples and it didn't pass so technically they are illegal there as well.

I'm sure there are other states as well.

It is all idiocy. What are people so afraid of that they have make laws banning marriage from some just because they are different?
