YES ON EQUALITY ~~ California Ballot Measure on Marriage Equality ~~ Please K&R
From the website ~~ FAQ:

Why Gay Marriage? Why aren't civil unions and domestic partnerships good enough?

The question, 'Why Gay Marriage?' is commonly asked. Simply put, we all deserve the right to marry. Why should one group of people be treated differently from the rest? By renaming Gay Marriage and calling it a civil union, a legitimate set of people and their relationships are subject to unjust discrimination. It's not just a name, 'Marriage' offers more than 1,000 rights and protections not given to 'Domestic Partners.'

This form of discrimination should not be taken lightly. The Los Angeles Times noted, "The very act of denying gay and lesbian couples the right to marry – traditionally the highest legal and societal recognition of a loving commitment – by definition relegates them and their relationship to second class status.” The truth is, this form of segregation is wrong.
