Supporters of same-sex marriage not only want to uphold the principle of nondiscrimination, but also point out that homosexual couples do not have the same basic legal rights that are enjoyed by married couples, including health benefits and hospital visitation rights. People who oppose same-sex marriage claim that allowing this marriage would radically redefine and weaken marriage. Polls show that those with a higher frequency of church attendance oppose this marriage by a substantial amount. The general public does, however, support civil unions more than marriage, which grants most of the same legal rights without the title.
