I was disappointed it was not called marriage, but happy it is everything but. I am a straight female, and seriously wishing to change my marriage in to a civil union, since that is the same for all in Illinois.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-19954407012869204112011-02-05T14:03:44.724-08:002011-02-05T14:03:44.724-08:00In Brazil the Supreme Court said in official docum...In Brazil the Supreme Court said in official document that the Gay Union will be solved (positively or not) this very month.

It is progress and I can not fault that. Sometimes the concessions of compromise build a dialogue for the future. <br /><br />It is ultimately how we feel with each other that truly matters. Community recognition is wonderful but in the end it is really about love.Thttp://links-of-love.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-33397225325425499672011-01-31T20:10:13.572-08:002011-01-31T20:10:13.572-08:00As a former Chicagoan, I'm very happy that Ill...As a former Chicagoan, I'm very happy that Illinois is finally taking a step towards full marriage equality. And it is just a step. Eventually, when people realize civilization won't collapse as a result of "Civil Partnerships," Full equality will follow. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice..."<br /><br />I also agree that it is what you feel in your heart that matters. I was married in my Unitarian Univeralist Church in Stillwater, OK and I consider it a marriage even though there is no legal recognition of it. I call my husband, husband even though, now living in Nebraska, it isn't legally true. It's true to me and my husband, our friends and parts of our families, and our faith community (Unitarian Church of Lincoln, where a Marriage Equality banner was proudly displayed along a busy street along its tour of UU churches across the country).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349008823416074568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-18598728097710226322011-01-31T18:52:24.334-08:002011-01-31T18:52:24.334-08:00So true, as much as I don't like seperate but ...So true, as much as I don't like seperate but equal systems as they are never truly equal, I'm glad to curantly reside in a state That has a truly seperate bye equal domestic partnerships, as they are the same as marriage in everything but name.
