I think we’d adapt to same sex ruling if unfavorable. We’d invent a new union - a union blessed by God - a new name too. “God’s Marriage” or some similar name.
Since we obviously won’t accept that our “marriage” is the same as theirs, we will absolutely just come up with a new vehicle to identify ourselves. States will behave as they wish with the new union.
0care is one I’m more concerned with. Gotta begin unwrapping that monster.
There have already been comments that Holy Matrimony fits that bill.
I think that is too optimistic. I think the government will move against churches and sermons that uphold traditional marriage and will start opening churches to lawsuits, revocation of tax exempt status and legal charges of hate speech.
For what good purpose do we invent a new term? Holy matrimony is the perfectly succinct term for faith based marriages (the sacrament). Civil unions are reserved for those that don’t care to have their wedding be a sacrament (ordained by Caesar vs. by God).
