What are the differences in the rights between a civil union and marriage?
The propositions passed to ban gay marriage (which I disagree on), and others have told me that gay couples can have civil unions and have the same rights as married couples- I suspect that isn't true though. Can someone provide more information on differences (if any) between the rights of a married couple and the rights of a civil union couple?

This depends on what a civil union is defined as by the state.
A civil union can be merely an acknowledgment of next of kin or it can offer all the benefits of marriage, except the name.
