Actually, the way I'm thinking of dealing with this is thinking of a bill that removes marriage from state control and replaces it with state sanctioned unions. I wonder how many church/state separatists would actually go for that...almost seems like it'd be something Mormons would wholeheartedly support: that churches could have absolute control over validity of marriages within their own systems and that states could regulate civil unions however they felt they needed to. that's what the mormon church does currently, anyway.
