It seems to me like the answer to all of this (including her situation) is for governors and/or mayors to require the word "marriage" to be replaced by "civil union" (or some equivalent) in all legal documents and to call for "marriage" to be likewise replaced in all laws and statutes, which might require legislation. I would think that this could be done rather easily in many states.
I could be wrong but, marriage should have nothing to do with "The State", it's a religious/God ordained institution that's been hi-jacked by the government. Christians shouldn't be threatened by "The State" adopting biblical terms to engage in a perversion of what we hold as sacred. We simply need to make sure our example is above reproach to what is righteous and proper as a witness to our faith. I say we peacefully beat back "The State" influence on religous practices by keeping separate their laws and our christian beliefs.
