I don't believe it's a civil rights issue, but I do think it should be allowed. However, I object to the word "marriage" as it is, so I'd be more comfortable with civil unions, for everyone. No legal "marriages." But that's just me being rabidly anti-religious.

I say:
Well, if the government is involved, it should not be called marriage then. It should not be called a marriage license either. All unions should be civil-unions to the government, since marriage is a religious term. All people who apply for a civil-union should get the same tax-friendly benefits as "married" couples do already. Then everyone is happy, right?
