1. Allow all legal applications of marriage to apply to any two consenting adults, regardless of either individual's gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation, on all government levels (local, state, federal).
2. Incorporate sexual orientation and gender identity as protected qualifiers from discrimination in the Equal Opportunity Employment Act.
3. Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.
4. Repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
5. Continue encouraging broad-mindedness regarding sexual orienation, gender identity, and the GLBT community at large, but without going so far as to start treating such citizens any differently than straight citizens, be those differences more positive or more negative for the citizens in question.
6. Once this is all accomplished, encourage all citizens to put the issue to rest and treat one's sexual orientation or gender identity as no more important than one's hair color or the grain of wood constituting one's coffee table.
