You just have to sell it right. Start off by making it seem like the Government is trying to control all marriages (which they are kind of doing already). Then have a religious personality step in to tell the masses that marriage is a religious institution before the eyes of god, not before the government. Finally, get the masses to start chanting "keep your hands off my marriage". Once all this has occurred, marriage will be left up to which ever religion you are a member of, and everyone will be issued civil union certificates. .

Honestly, I hate to say this, but the whole marriage issue can wait for another day. There are more critical issues at hand than the various social issues that always seem to drive these elections.
