I saw this online the other day, and I was surprised. Could anyone comment on it? It said that "civil unions" are legal in all 50 states, gay or not. The only significance to the latest efforts is that gays want "marriage" rather than "civil union".

(Personally - I think marriage should be done at a church, and unions should be what they all are. Marriages should be religious matters which are regarded as civil unions by the state. I wasn't "legally" married until the minister signed my marriage license, no matter how long the ceremony was. Marriages should remain a religious layer above civil unions; if a church wants to marry gays, they should allow that. Why we have courts "marrying" people, I don't know).
