Marriage is an important thing. Not a flippant thing, nor an iffy thing. I didn't get married because it was no big deal, that if things went south I could always divorce. That's not right. Where I come from, where I grew up, Marriage was a solemn thing. It went beyond politics and ordinary stuff.

I agree with this completely, and I treat my marriage the same way, as something solemn that should not be easily discarded if things start to go poorly. I imagine most gay people want to be married for this exact reason; they view the loving relationships they have with their partners as something serious and solemn. For the same reason that you view marriage as superior to a common law relationship, so too do homosexuals view marriage as something superior to a civil union. That's why I support them 100% on this issue even though it has absolutely zero effect on me personally.

Everyone that wants a union can have a union, and no one can have a marriage, and we will all be happy.

I would not be happy with a union. I want a marriage. So does my wife. From your post, it sounds like you also want a marriage.
So do homosexuals.
