If marriage is going to be religious (because of its sacred significance), than the state should have nothing to do with it. Call formal legal unions something else, and let churches marry whom they will. I suspect many churches would marry gays- but at least the churches could duke it out amongst themselves, and we could have a rational way to treat all people equally before the law. The present system makes a mockery of marriage anyway- those straight divorce rates are something else. Clearly marriage doesn't mean much to a lot of straight people, and the idea that gays will ruin the whole thing is ludicrous, but if the folks who have an emotional attachment to marriage need a bone, I say give 'em the word, but make sure the legal rights meted out by the government are available to all.
