the fact is gay and lesbian attempt legalize same sex marriages is an attempt to force their views on religions that don't believe it is right. If this was truely about choice as so many people try and claim they would have accepted the civil union as an acceptable commitment and focused on strengthen it so that it was legally equivalent to a marriage in the eyes of the state.
That way a marriage would be a combination of the religious cerimony + civil union under the state
the civil union would be the only important part for gay couples who wanted to make a legally binding committment to each other.
