What they're talking about are civil unions where either a homosexual or heterosexual couple have a legally sanctioned civil union which would convey the same rights as marriage. | I think it should be like Germany I guess. Everybody is required to have a civil ceremony and then you can choose to have a church marriage as well. I guess if you choose not to have a civil union that you would choose to give up those rights. To me it's all the same anyway. I don't have a problem with calling it "gay marriage."
