I'm pretty sure that civil unions aren't sentient.
A '''civil union''' is a legally-recognized domestic union offered in some jurisdictions as a substitute for [[marriage]], generally to same-sex couples. Civil unions intend to give same-sex couples the same rights and responsibilities they would have if legally married, without extending marriage to include same-sex partnerships.

Civil unions exist in many countries, including the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Sweden. Civil unions and similar 'domestic partnerships' are offered in several U.S. states.
