Real simple solution: abolish government recognition of marriage. Gay or straight, the decision to marry is one that would be personal. Between two people, or two people and their god or whatever floats your boat.
Of course this would also do away with such unpleasantness as alimony, IRS tax loopholes and penalties, and long messy legal divorce proceedings. This would obviously change how things such as healthcare function and folks would need to be more proactive with their responsibilities as it regards wills and the like.
Yeah, it's never going to happen and would likely be as difficult as getting the IRS to recognize gay marriage, but a boy can dream can't he? Ah one more thing in life free of governmental oversight.
