There has been NO attempt to change the religiously limited/defined marriage ("union of two church members of opposite sexes but appropriate ages who intend to remain together for life and who are allowed physical interaction, prohibited to those not certified in this state by the proper authorities, with the allowable outcome of possible reproduction") ONLY the term as used by the government- (union of any two individuals who for tax purposes and rights of access and responsibility are considered to have a "civil union" , including by default those with religious marriages BUT also including those who have contracted by whatever menas to be in such a union)

So tell me how the MARRIAGE(Government) definition has ANY effect on the people who have entered into the MARRIAGE(Religious) state?
