I support gay unions. I think the government should get out of the marriage business completely - leave marriages to the churches. And grant civil unions to gay couples, grant civil unions to a man and woman.

I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies.

My parents were both union members, and I grew up hearing how important it was to empower workers and have fair labor practices.

I certainly support civil unions.

Public unions are big money.

I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

Gay and lesbian people have families, and their families should have legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union.

I always thought a very strong anti-drug policy was a good thing for my union members.

I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions.
