Elsewhere someone made some comments about this document, which I linked to on my blog. There isn't enough space in the comments section to answer, so I decided to post it here.
mwoerl,
The Orthodox position is much more intricate than you are giving it credit for. Perhaps I should have given a link that also explains the "other side" or Orthodox thought. Orthodoxy does not say "if you weren't married in the Church, you aren't really married, and you are living in fornication". What it says is that if you weren't married in the Church, you don't have a sacramental marriage, and therefore are not accessible to the same type of grace that sacramentally married couples would be. There was a controversy pretty early on in the Church involving marriage. In the Roman empire, the wife would take on the social status of her husband. At the time, wealthy Christian women were falling in love with slaves, but were unwilling to marry them (which would mean that they would sink to their social status). Therefore, they simply lived with the guys. The Pope of Rome, out of condescension, permitted the marriages because he believed that to do otherwise would do even more harm. However, many Christians disagreed.
Why? Why couldn't the Church just bless the marriage? The answer (to that question, and also to your concerns) is that, while the Orthodox Church requires one to be married in the Church for it to be a sacramental marriage, the Orthodox Church nonetheless recognizes the civil law/state's place in recognizing marriages. So, today, if someone is married (for instance) before a justice of the peace and never has their marriage blessed, that person will not be considered sacramentally married, but I don't know of a priest who would say that they are not married at all and are shacking up.
Obviously homosexuality is not as widespread as homosexuals themselves say (they say 10% of the population, it's probably more like 1 or 2%). However, it is a problem. If you polled all the guys in my high school class, I'd be willing to bet that 3/4 of them (or more) would be perfectly fine with the idea of a lesbian wedding. If anything, they'd be turned on by it. This is a problem that effects the souls of millions around the world today, and it will continue to effect the lives of countless more souls tomorrow unless people take a stand today. I'm not worried about a homosexual takeover or anything like that; I'm worried about Joe Ordinary, who has a "homosexual orientation". I don't want anything bad to happen to Joe Ordinary come judgment day, and I've read homosexual materials and know that they distort Scripture verses so that Joe Ordinary the homosexual thinks that he's doing nothing wrong.
I also find your attitude towards the bishops somewhat shocking. When did they say that they were perfect? It is their duty to protect their flock, whether they are perfect or not. I won't say more than that, as I'm getting very close to saying some words I'd regret 
I suggest we all examine what "state" we're in...
