56. That may be fine for Norway, but not for California...

In California we have no such thing as a civil union, we have registered domestic parterships which are nowhere near being equal to marriage, despite what the Religious Right claims.

The best we could hope for is that the California Supreme Court rules that the definition of marriage may be changed to mean "between a man and woman" but their previous ruling still stands where, what was prevously defined as marriage for all relationships, is still a Fundamental Right. Perhaps all they would need to do then is add a few extra words to the 'marriage' certificates that are issued by the state.
