Ah sure, call me out...
AS a Christian I'm taught to love the sinner and hate the sin. So, while I cannot agree with homosexuality and the 'gay lifestyle' as people like to call it, that doesnt' affect how I feel abotu my gay friends. Whether they are Christian or not, their supposed sins are between them and their maker, and I have no part of it. As such, I have no problems with gay marriage, as again, it is not up to me to judge.
However, as far as the legalities go...
My proposal would have those wed in a religious institution would have a marriage and those wed by the state would have a civil union. You'll notice that sexual preference has nothing to do with this distinction as there are certain churches that will marry gay couples. Now, unfortunately this would not please all people, however it would change the 'line in the sand' from being drawn between sexuality to being drawn between the church and the state, where it is supposed to be drawn in the first place.
