Disappointing disconnect

Redraft the amendment so that it accomplishes what it purportedly intended to do (by public statements). To wit: 1) Ban marriage other than between a man and a woman; 2) prohibit any state or federal court from requiring a state to offer a marriage equivalent to gay couples; 3) allow state legislatures to enact civil union laws providing the same (or similar) "incidents" of marriage to gay couples, so long as their doing so is not under compulsion of a court ruling.

How's about:
Marriage shall be limited to a man and a woman. The incidents of marriage shall not be extended to non-married couples except by specific action of a legislature subsequent to the enactment of this amendment.
