That would be fine by me, though heterosexual people already have this right in the form of a marriage.

Ah, ok. I see what you mean. So heterosexual people would have the choice of either a civil union or a marriage.

Right, though as Atlas Forum Law stands now, there is no option for marriage for homosexuals. So basically this change would make it so that heterosexuals could enter into either a civil union or a marriage, there would be a difference between those two.

I know your position on marriage. What I'm trying to figure out is exactly what this bill would do. If you are heterosexual, you would have the option of either a marriage or a civil union, is that correct? You could enter into one or the other, basically? That's what I'm getting at, what would be the point of allowing civil unions for those who are heterosexual when they can already get married, unless there is some difference between those two that might want to make you choose the civil union instead.

I know you want marriage to only be allowed for those who want to have kids, but this bill wouldn't change current law on marriage to do that.
