55. My colleage argued that by calling it a "civil union," it would create a stigma that marriage lacks.
I don't know if that would pan out or not...some people in the world won't recognize a same-sex couple (or an interracial couple, or an interfaith couple, or a couple married by a secular officiant) as united or married or existing, no matter what... but would other people really make the distinction and stigmatize a civil union?
