What's a same-sex couple?
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 are intended to give same-sex couples the same rights and responsibilities they would have if legally married, without extending marriage to include same-sex partnerships.
