The best solution (in my opinion) would be to strip the word "marriage" out of civil law entirely. Make everyone a "civil union", whether it's between man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, or man and chicken. If the couple then wants to be "married", they can go to whatever local church recognizes their sort of union and get married there.
This would completely strip the issue of bizarre and antiquarian religious arguments offered by the fruitcakes who voted against gay marriage.
