Now that prop 107 didn't pass in AZ. does that mean lesbian/gay couples can have a civil union and it has to be recognized?

No, there are laws in the lawbooks that make it illegal. But without the amendment, those laws are wide open to lawsuits. Anyone can bring a complaint forward and have those laws scrutinized and possibly wiped from the books. THEN same sex marriage will be possible in AZ.
Hopefully one or more brave homosexual couple will come forward demanding equality. Then it will have to be decided if the current laws the prohibit same sex marriage are valid and just. These kind of laws have been struck down elsewhere. I'm confident it can happen again in AZ.

Everyone can have a civil union, straights or gays. Every one can get married if they are of legal age, gays or straights. That's equal rights. Just because the gays want to marry the same sex and they can't, does not mean they do not have equal rights. They want more rights.

Yes. Because there is no state amendment defining homosexual marriage, Civil Unions have to be recognized.

Queers should not be allowed to have any type of union. Move somewhere else.
