I REALLY shouldn't be on QBN any more today, but the way I see it:
Government can do whatever the fuck it wants. Marriage, the way we use it, is nothing more than a civil union. I think it would make much more sense to simply restructure: government grants civil unions between two HUMAN BEINGS (gay, straight, whatever) which provides all the same benefits that a legal "marriage" does now. Churches, organizations, etc. are accredited by the state to grant marriage licenses based on their own terms. The government can even have a generic one for any couples that don't associate with any of the groups. None of the benefits would better/worse, but it would make it a) easier for the gov and b) easier for opposing groups to get over each other and move on. Baseball analogy: once you just accept that people are playing for different teams, put them all in the same league. They can both be treated the same, but the people that don't get along don't have to feel forced to sit on the same bench if they don't want to.
