Eventually, opposite-sex couples will sue for a secular form of state acceptance of their relationships, and this means that 1) civil unions or whatever title is given them will be required; and 2) that state involvement in "marriage" will be deemed as a violation of the separation of state and religion. I plan to send this article to members of the Hawai'i legislature who are currently (Feb. 2009) considering civil union legislation, which appears to exclude opposite-sex couples.
