45. Can't help you here; I would rather see the removal of all marriage "rights"
for everyone. Legal issues should be handled by contracts, marriages are religious ceremonies and should not be given any legal rights. I think civil unions in contract form should apply to all personal partnerships and allcurrent marriages will have to be re-iterated in contract form to have any further rights.

Then those contracts should be required to be recognized by all parties including businesses for insurance purposes, hospitals, custody courts, etc.
