      The government should recognise all partnerships simply as ‘civil unions’, not marriages. Regardless of genders. Marriage is a religious rite and as such should not be part of government lexicon. If you want to be married, fine, do it in your church, but the government should only see the practical arrangement as a civil union for taxation purposes with no further interest in the genders involved .

      At least that’s how it’s done in my country.
