Best Answer

Yes. Civil union bills have been defeated in Oregon, Hawaii and Colorado. (Hawaii has since passed a civil unions bill.) Typically, opposition to civil unions is less than opposition to same-sex marriage. It is important to note that part of the opposition to civil union legislation comes from the gay and lesbian community itself, since civil unions represent a segregated form of marriage to some, while being viewed as a welcome interim step towards equality to others.
