what about civil unions? There has to be some way for the law to recognize a spouse as next of kin.
I suppose I phrased that badly, but I don't think governments should be involved with marriage any further than recognizing it.
what about recognizing gay marriage?
I think in this case gay marriage should be recognized (though don't quote me for it, I change my mind daily and I am undecided on the matter), but I would say it should be up to the organizations to decide whether or not they will marry these people.

Ideally, I think that their should be organizations/businesses who perform marriages/unions akin to funeral homes arranging funerals and memorial services.
I would assume this would include churches.
Yes, marriages in churches would be recognized.
