the easy solution.
The easy solution is to take the word "marriage" out of all laws and replace it with "union" -- let churches define and perform "marriages" as they see fit, but register all "unions" with the state.
This lets all the religious fanatics think they have saved the 'sanctity' of the 'institution' of "marriage" and it lets all other forms of "unions" have the same legal standards and rights - especially as there WILL be churches that perform "gay marriages" (seeing as there are some now eh?).
AND it fits with our constitution and the declaration of independence and the concept of separation of church and state and .... etc.
WIN-WIN
Now, can we talk about something serious?

Re: the easy solution.
I like that more than including gay in marriage.
I still think healthcare will be negetively affected though.
The problem of health care is that it should not depend on how you are connected to some way of getting a provider -- relations to to people to work to some company that provides plans to associate people to providers of care ... it gets so byzantine when the real solution is simple: everyone covered, they walk in they get care. Cut out all the middlemen trying to snake a profit from peoples misfortune and bad health.
