Marriage is a legally binding agreement and is governed by laws. That is clearly within the governments purview. It is not however, something any church should be involved in.
So, the only fair thing to do is civil unions for all and relegate "marriage" to the anachronism it is along with all the other religious bullshit. This will protect your "institution" and make our laws more secular. Win-win for everybody, except assholes and bigots.
You still haven't explained how a gay couple getting married affects your marriage to your wife.
