The gay community doesn't get to use the word under LAW and the heterosexual community doesn't get to use it either.
(If the two groups can't play nice in the sand box together, then the sand box needs to change.)
I don't think change always means giving Group A what Group B already has. Sometimes the best way to change things is to, TAKE AWAY. Clearly there will be a never ending debate about the word MARRIAGE, so why bother using it? TAKE IT AWAY from everyone, as it applies to two couples and their rights.
Why not just come up with a new word for EVERYONE as it applies to equality under GOVERNMENT.

It only separate but equal if GOVERNMENT was the designer of marriage, which it isn't.
