Reply #23: It's "double taxation." [View All]

Not only would we have to pay for a civil union license, if we were to find a church to marry us, we would then have to pay for the marriage license.

The same thing happened during the issue of gay adoption. In the past, one father would have to go to court, adopt the child, and then the second father would have to do the same thing. The NJ Supreme Court found this unconstitutional, and was the first state in the country to allow a same-sex couple to jointly adopt a child with one visit to the courthouse.

On edit: Not to mention the fact that a civil union license costs more than a marriage license, which, to me, is discrimination.
