How is this still a problem? Seriously.
Proponents claim they want equality with mixed sex marriages. Opponents claim that marriage is a religious union and therefore only sanctioned for mixed sexes in the eyes of God. How does any of this relate to Government?
The role of Government in "marriage" is to enforce contract law between the individuals entering into the union. The simple solution for both sides of this argument? Change the name from Marriage to Civil Union in all Government roles. The Government would thus oversee the legal aspects of ALL unions between individuals no matter sex. The Government would have no role in Marriages; which would be left to Churches and Religious Organizations. Marriages would have nothing to do with legal, contractual status in relation to Government regulation. This way everyone is equal in the eyes of the law and any Churches or Religions that are opposed to same sex marriages don't have to participate in them or condone them.
Any other "impossible to solve" problems out there that need a dose of common sense?
