From the beginning, I have always objected to the term "marriage" being used by the government. Legal civil unions, with their appropriate legal protections should be the government's concern. Whether those rights or non-rights are federal or state related is a constitutional matter, IMO. I think the term "marriage" should be a religious issue determined by religious institutions, with no civil meaning attached.
That's just one atheist's view. One who has been "married" 40 years come this August.
