In California there are \"civil unions\". These can be between same sex couples (any age) of hetero couples (as
long as one partner is 62 ? 65? I forget--talk about age discrimination). In California there is no diference
between \"civil union\" and \"marriage\", they are equal. However in Federal eyes there are 1049 laws that are
rights recognized in \"marrage\" but not for \"civil unions\". These include taxes (fileing jointly) , Social
Security, and Medicare. I believe people are looking for \"marrage\" so as to not be discriminated against.
