Wouldn't the simple solution then be to throw out the legality of marriage
and have the govenment only recognize the civil union between two people.
Marriage becomes a religious recongnition of the legal civil union..
More simply put: change the law as it applies to all, not just a subset of
the population.
just my two cents

That's much worse than calling someone a liberal elitist. It also
proves how useless labels are for most people. I can't accept all the
definitions for any one label so I must take a little from each. I'm
actually much more social liberal than social conservative but it's
still too much socialism involved for me to claim to be a member.
As for the marriage issue: I'm for 100% equal rights through civil
unions. I also support the right of people to recognize the definition
of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
