Respect religious freedoms, while also allowing civil marriages to stand. Respect ballot initiatives, but also respect that marriages performed in certain states are given equal rights at the federal level.

I have a hard time believing a moderate view would be as heavily skewed to religious wording. Marriage is not a sacrament, it's a legal contract that allows for tax breaks. Your last sentence is another way of saying separate but equal. That usually works out well.
Maybe you meant a moderate conservative and I misunderstood?
