Summary

This quote highlights the belief that civil unions, although providing some legal benefits, are seen as inferior to marriage. The argument asserts that marriage holds a special and significant status, deserving of equal legal protection. It implies that because marriage is considered a sacred and cherished institution, it should not be subjected to discrimination or unequal treatment in comparison to civil unions. This viewpoint advocates for recognizing the importance of marriage and extending its equal privileges to all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender.
