Probably not at this time. Citizenship is a Federal issue and civil unions are by the states. For it to be legal, the Federal Government would have to recognize it and they are not willing to do that yet. I don't think it would work to keep someone in the country even if you stayed in the state where it was performed.
THe question isn't about citizenship. Yes, two nationalities can have a civil union. Civil Union has no bearing on citizenship. That would be some serious discrimmination otherwise, similar in taste to outlawing bi-racial marriages.

How did the civil rights movement affect the gay rights movement?
The language of the civil rights movement has been used to fight the opposition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. The civil rights movement did not directly affect the gay rights movement, but it did influence some on how they could make their secret open and accepted by others. This eventually became known as Gay Liberation. It may sound similar to Women Liberation, the movement where women wanted rights to vote, get abortions, and have the same pay as men. Another term, Gay Power, originally came from the term Black Power which was part of the civil rights movement.

What is a liberal view on civil unions?
Generally speaking, liberals view same-sex marriages and civil unions as basic human rights due to all citizens regardless of gender.Civil unions are, in basic terms, "gay marriages." The term civil union is used because "Marriage" implies something religious, and the government recognizes that it cannot dictate that any religion perform any particular type of marriage. A civil union gives the "married" couple all the legal rights and privileges a state provides to married couples, even if the couple in question cannot be "married" in the traditional sense (again, almost always because the two partners are of the same sex).Several areas now allow civil unions. When this happens, it nearly always is reported in the news as that area allowing "gay marriage." Some examples are:MassachusettsNew YorkConnecticutNew HampshireIowaVermontWashington, DCCoquille Native American TribeSuquamish Native American Tribe

Yes. Civil union bills have been defeated in Oregon, Hawaii and Colorado. (Hawaii has since passed a civil unions bill.)
