The "Civil Union" was invented in Vermont in 2000 in order to provide the legal rights and benefits of marriage to same-sex couples while minimizing offense to religious or traditionalist critics. Vermont has since ceased issuing civil union licenses to same-sex couples and now just allows them to marry, the same as anyone else.
