The government would stop interfering with “marriage” altogether. Marriage would be a religious institution, and the government would recognize something like civil unions instead. Opposite and same sex couples could get a civil union.
It keeps government out of religious marriage, and allows individual churches to determine whether or not they want to allow same sex marriage. It protects the word “marriage,” which is very important to some people, from government interference. Opposite and same sex couples could get a civil union.
Hmmmm...see post 414.
