This is a matter of opinion. I have been in a civil union and am now in a same-sex marriage. My personal opinion is that civil unions are a valuable step on the road to equality. Civil unions help people with respect to insurance and money matters. However, I personally find the two-tiered system created by civil unions to be offensive and insufficient. "Separate but equal" is a kind of segregation or apartheid that goes against American ideals.
