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?

13 Replies in this Sub-Threadif we just make Civil Partnerships the same as Marriages then we have the Separate but Equal problem (that it isn't equal). if we give everyone Civil Partnerships and make Marriages exclusive to religion (with everything the same except the names) then we again have the Separate but Equal problem, just applying to religion rather than sexual orientation.

Christians ALREADY don't have to perform ceremonies. A large portion of marriages are performed by judges, not to mention OTHER religious officials. Again, you and the thread maker are making these claims when I made a substantial post explaining how faulty it is. Ignoring the facts doesn't change them.

I know Christians don't have to perform the ceremonies but like I said before it's kind of like a reassurance that the legal civil unions will not infringe upon the Christian definition of marriage.
