I solved the Gay Marriage issue
It's so God damn easy I don't get why no one thought of this yet. I posted this earlier a few months back but I think it was ignored. Before you start flaming me for my warped view of reality, at least read the whole thing
Give Civil Unions the same benefits as Marriage, and let Heterosexual couples be allowed to have Civil Unions. That would eliminate any "Separate but Equal" bullshit out of the water. But wait, there's more! Legalize Gay Marriage across the country, but let individual churches choose whether or not to accept the marriages. If Gay couples really wanted marriage they should have no problem finding a small local church to hold their wedding, and if they cant find a church to approve of it, there is always a Government equivalent with the same benefits.
Bam! Boom! Solved. Where's my medal?

Edited by ToastyWaffles: 5/28/2013 11:40:31 AMI have a very similar solution (though I didn't come up with it originally). Give civil unions equal legal rights as marriages do, and allow hetersexual couples to enter into civil unions (as you said). But then make marriage no longer a recognised civil institution. It doesn't need to be one. As a Christian I can tell that we value marriage for more than just the legal benefits. [i]To us[/i] it's about make a promise before your spouse and before God to stay together for the rest of your life. Most Christians don't have a problem with gay's having equal civil rights, therefore marriage should not be a civil issue. All religions and denominations can still hold marriage ceremonies for whomever they chose, as can hotels etc, without being told otherwise. Everyone gets what they want.
