What the heck is the difference between a marriage and a civil union?

1 political difference and 1 legal one.

Political - "Civil Union" doesn't use the word "marriage" and thus is slightly less offensive to some.

Legal - If it just becomes a marriage then presumably all the state and federal laws will apply in exactly the same way. If it is a civil union under a new law than the rights and responsibilities are spelt out under that new law.
