I'd be in favor of separating the legal and the church stuff; you want to file for legal partnership, cool. You get the tax benefits and the hospital visitation and all that. Regardless of orientation. You want to do it in a church and call it marriage? Cool. Each church gets to define it how they like. Some churches will therefore honor same-sex couples.

I don't expect that's a popular opinion, but it would solve things. So legalizing same-sex marriage (or rather, the lack of banning it) would be the next best thing. Call it equality, and call it a day.
