Well that's just bizarre. I had heard of getting married for tax purposes but ... I have several good friends who have chosen to go the civil union route. However, what they all have in common is: they are extremely progressive people in other aspects of their lives, and they aren't in particular contact with their families anymore. When/if I start to think about getting married, I will happily enter into a civil union instead -- but the prerequisite is, of course, finding a woman who hasn't been inundated with the cult of marriage. And this is low on my list of desirable characteristics, so marriage is probably in the cards.
