118. Ok--here you go--everyone gets a "civil union" license and THAT is the legally binding part.

If you want to go to a church or anyplace else for some sort of spiritual ceremony you need to give them a copy of that "civil union" paperwork first.

That way we are not forcing churches to do anything they have a problem with (and you know as well as I do that there are entire denominations that have an issue with recognizing any form of a relationship between glbt folks) but every one is provided with the same rights and legal protections.

The license, however, will be a FEDERAL one rather than a local/state one...

How's THAT as a possible alternative?
