After debating gay unions with gays for a couple of years I have found it is both useless and fruitless to continue the discussion. You see homosexuality as a civil rights issue and I see homosexuality as a morality issue. I oppose gay unions for historical (you might like reading up on the socio-political problems egalitarian societies had) and moral reasons. However, since you don't want to read what some in the gay community feel about this issue I will quote the last paragraph of the link:
Unfortunately, most people's sense of history begins the day they were born, which means all that precedes is outmoded and irrelevant and all that follows is enlightened and progressive. However, we cannot and must not ignore the lessons of history and natural law. Again and again, it has been shown that whenever humankind fails to protect time-honored political, moral and social institutions, whenever humankind attempts to embrace pride as a virtue and mainstream behavior that contravenes natural law, and whenever humankind becomes arrogant, autonomous, egalitarian, nihilistic and foolish, civilization fails - always and without exception. So, here we are repeating the cycle and getting ready to crash and burn one more time.
