It's the old socialist story of "Those who control the Media control the country." Hitler did the same thing, control the news and entertainment and you can control the masses. By the way have you seen that beer I thought I left by the T.V?

"For the average American, civil unions sound like tolerance, but marriage sounds like approval."

I think this one is closest. When you consider people's reactions to homosexuality being taught in health or sex ed classes in schools, I think the "approval" thesis has the most bite.

IMO two of the key reasons, not yet mentioned by the pundits that so many Americans oppose legalizing gay relationships are:
1. Gays are so promiscuous.
2. Gays are credited with the widespread AIDS epidemic.
