Hence the reason laws usually have accompanying "definition" text. As an example, the Defense of Marriage Act: "... legal union between one man and one woman ..." Key verbiage here is "legal union." Does not preclude such a union between same sex couples, they just aren't called "marriage" under the current act.
A solution may be to remove the term "marriage" from government terminology and replace it with "legal union." A legal union can then be a state sponsored contract and/or church recognized marriage.
Not a bad idea. My issue which leads me to lean toward telling the homosesuals to go f**k themselves is that they have persuaded me to believe that they do not want equal rights as evidenced by their general rejection of civil unions but rather demand our (i.e., everyone not homosexual) imprimatur on their behavior.
