How are Same Sex unions different from Marriage?

Its a simple question, what are the legal and practical differences?





Bible answers don't count. I'm an atheist.How are Same Sex unions different from Marriage?
As far as I am aware, a marriage document is legitimate anywhere. A union or whatever will be legal in some places and not in others (depending on if they allow gay unions).





A union was just some smart cookie's idea of allowing gay people to marry without pissing off those bigots (i.e. christians).How are Same Sex unions different from Marriage?
Marriage must be honored from state to state. This was very important when biracial marriage was legal in some states, but not in others. Anyway, states are not required to recognize legal unions, so a gay couple could be fine in one state, nut lose their right is they move to another. I hope this helps.
Marriage is a legal contract, same sex unions are not.
