Conservatives Need To Wake Up To Civil Unions

Don't we as Conservatives preach freedom and liberty? Don't we talk about how the founding fathers wanted "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?" Then why do we go against what we stand for?

First off I am not for changing the definition of marriage. I think it is a religious word and should stay that way, but why stop gays from being able to have civil unions? It doesn't make since and stands against what we stand for.

I am sure that I am going to get flak from people I am linked to over this, but oh well. My question to the people that are against it is, Does it really effect you? No it doesn't, so get over yourself.

If the Conservatives in the Republican party would stand up and let Gays get civil unions maybe it would sway some our way. Just think about it.
