http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/civilunion/ Dear Parliament Of NZ We, the undersigned, wish the Civil Union bill to become law in NZ. It is love & compassion that makes a good relationship,not what the orientation of it is. We believe everybody has the right to marry in the form of union. It would allow both Man+Woman, and Man+Man/Woman+Woman couples to register for civil unions as an alternative to marriage, which will still be recognised in law through religious procedure. Many MPs are using the fact that the marriage rate has declined slightly since 1988 and are eager to blame it on prostituion reform & same sex relationships. They are eager to do this to enforce their own political agenda through falsehood & deceit. In conclusion, we beleive this will go a long way to give thousands of same-sex & heterosexual couples the ability to be recognised in law as equal to married couples. BTW, if you don't like it, then you really shoudn't sign because you are supporting it then.
