To draw the analogy to gay marriage, I would rather have two (or more) people in some sort of committed relationship than not.
In the end, the only solution that makes sense is to make marriage a distinctly religious/personal commitment and leave the state out of it. If the state wants to somehow subsidize committed relationships, then they can't restrict the designation based on sexual orientation OR religious practice.
