My Proposal

The State-sanctioned contract now typically called "marriage" should be changed to be called domestic partership or whatever. Regardless of M-F, F-F, M-M, whomever. And anyone who wants to enter into such a contractual relationship - barring legitimate state interests like protecting minors, etc. - should have this right.

"Marriages" should be then left to the church under whatever rationale they choose.

Takes the church/state issue out of it and puts everyone on equal footing.
If you think this has a snowball's chance in Kona of happening, you should meet up with Not Me and her friends at the Radisson. Don't promise to move to Wyoming unless you're clear on what you're getting into, though.
