The obvious answer in any such legislation is simply to include wording guaranteeing the freedom of individual religious organizations to choose whether or not to recognize gay marriage; that way low-brow backwater rednecks like Made in the USA can choose to live the rest of their lives in their narrow dogmatic bubbles by absconding from an organized religion that embraces diversity.
Hey, to be honest, even though I am a strong Christian, I do have a tendency to favor civil unions and am slowly, very slowly, warming to gay marriage. I don't want to cause any more rucus around here, lest there be a mutiny. I'll probably never be 100% supportive of gay marriage, but thats what makes this country great, I don't have to be 100% supportive of every progressive position, like I don't have to be 100% supportive of every populist or conservative position.
I know many Euro Christians who favor gay marriage, on the basis of this:
If two people of the same gender love eachother, only marriage would give them the benefits, but it would never be recognized by god anyway, so it is no big deal...
Not that I 100% agree, but it is a good point..
