The primary argument I've read against that is the whole "seperate but equal" thing. It implies that one is lesser than the other (one way or another). One problem that gets brought up is that Civil Unions don't have all the legal rights of a marriage. Some of it might not be in the law, but based on company responces to the law...as (if I understand this correctly) a Civil Union does not make you related while a Marriage does. There are things you can't do if you are not considered related under the law. This seems to be one of the major issues presently.
It is possible that the right and privilages under Marriage and Civil Unions are the same, but not on everyone's policy books...or something like that.
