Oh, now I have to go to a religious ceremony in order to be married? Great...

PS. I hear what you are saying.. Government should deal all 'marriages' as 'civil unions' in name.

Let the individuals pick and choose whom they consider to be married. I know gays wouldn't be the only ones some people might not consider to be "married".
