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?

I'm appeasing everyone with this, I'm not gonna ostracize the views of an entire group just cause you don't agree with them.

The problem is that nobody loses with letting same sex couples marry. The whole "sanctity of marriage" thing and religious view of same-sex marriage has literally no effect on hetero couples already married, or those who wish to marry in the future. Their marriage doesn't become meaningless. Churches aren't forced to marry same sex couples. The apocalypse doesn't come. Plenty of countries have legalized same sex marriage on a federal level, and they've turned out just fine. It's about time the US got on board.
