Marriage vs. civil union

To the editor:

The gay marriage problem is a semantic problem. The solution is to get the state out of the marriage business. Churches should perform marriages and the state can perform a civil union to take care of legal considerations. The marriage will be the equivalent of the civil union. If a couple cannot find a church to marry them they can resort to the civil union.
