Or a bill opposing all marriages could be introduced....

Religious proclivity should have no legal merit - m4w, m4m, or w4w.

If I had my way, any two people over 18 would be able to get a civil partnership-- and only a civil partnership-- with all the legal rights and responsibilities that go with it. If the couple wants to call it an official marriage, they can do what most couples do anyway and take the certificate to their favorite cleric to hold a wedding.

That way, if the church has a problem with it, they can work it out individually instead of making the state try to be fair to everyone's religious traditions.

Of course, "traditional marriage" people would freak out because "you're outlawing marriage OMGOMGOMGOMG!", and gay people would hate it because "we want to be married!", so it would never work. If everyone hates it equally, I suppose it's fair, he he.
