Other then these two family members, my family has always had gay friends. To me, being gay has never been seen as being a negative - sure it's different, but hell, aren't we all. Out of all my cousins, I'm the only one with brown eyes, luckily they haven't stoned me for being different or even required me to go get colored contacts.

Having brown eyes doesn't change anything on a marriage license, if we let gays marry why not just let anything go? The sanctity of marriage is gone, so let's just let children marry and let folk have more than one marriage, hcecklet's just let man and dog marry shall we? This will go beyond a slippery slope...children being brought up by 2 people of the same sex, then possibly by more than 2 people, the church will want nothing to do with it, neither will any religious organisation for that matter and it'll lead to a lot of angry people. You having brown eyes (i undertand your point on being different) is not comprable to gay marriage.

If I were to ever get married again, I would want just a civil service. Does that mean I have a civil union? What exactly is the difference between civil union and marriage? IMO, it's just a word.

The service doesn't mtter, you'd still be signing to a certificate of marriage, unless you choose not to, which would be the difference.
