I just realized this. I was reading the constitution a while ago. In the part that says how amendments are made, it specifically states that no new amendments may contradict the 1st and I think the 4th amendment. I'd have to go check.
I think the 4th amendment is states equal sufferage, and the 1st freedom of speech and two other things.
If one of those two other things in the first amendment is freedom of religion, or the statement that government shall not respect one religion over another, then you are home free.
So look up the first amendment to check. Then do a law suit, and take it to the supreme court. But wait till after Obama appoints 3 liberal justices. Even the conservatives might help you too. Go try to get married. Get rejected. Then sue. Take it to the Federal Supreme Court. Sight the requirement for new amendments clause, point to the 1st amendment, and argue that marriage is a religious term, and that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to regulate that word, and that any later amendment defining that word is unconstitutional. The court will then rule in your favor. It will over rule all state constitutions too.
Then go back to the priest of your choice and get married.
The government only has the authority to regulate civil contracts, not religous terms. Get your civil union, have your church marry you, and you are done with that part.
Next is adoption. I'm not sure on that one yet but I might think of something.
