Like me. I know that I want the legal recognition of a marriage (such as being on my partner's insurance and being his next of kin in case of an emergency), but I personally don't need a priest/rabbi/chanting Buddhist monk to legitimize my partnership. My parents obviously felt the same way--they were married in a civil ceremony as well.
I think the negative sentiment stems from religious-based issues, and not legal.
