I haven't seen any commentary or disagreements with gay civil unions coming out of the conservative camp.. you?
seems to me the ONLY controversy is the use of the word marriage define homosexual unions.
what would be wrong with gay couples in civil unions quietly going about their business with out public outrage and controversy? you see any issues with that?

There is plenty of anti-gay sentiment regarding civil unions coming from the right wing. The more moderate of the right wingers have embraced civil unions recently because they didn't want to look like asses. If you don't believe me Google Conservatives against civil unions and you will find plenty of evidence.
As I stated in a different thread anytime you want to force a group of people to refer to themselves by a particular title you open them up to discrimination. That is what they gay marriage advocates are trying to avoid.
By saying that they want their marriage to be called a marriage and to be able to refer to themselves as married is not an attack on conservatives.
