What’s the Difference Between a “marriage” and a “Civil Partnership”?

Question by tangerine: What’s the difference between a “marriage” and a “civil partnership”?
I know that some would argue that “marriage” denotes religious connotations, but that isn’t always true. After all, there are plenty of people who are married by justices of the peace and not in a church or other religious institution. Is there really any difference between a “marriage” and a “civil partnership”, since in both cases, relationships are given an official status by the government?

Answer by SomeGuy
Yeah, it’s just a name. It helps appease the religious right and gives homosexuals what they want.
