It's not being put to single out homosexual marriages, but rather it's offering them second rate marriages. Their similar, but not the same. The ideea of there being a law saying that muslims can no longer be called "citizens", but "common residents", would have the purpose of singling out muslims, a new population that people need to know they have to avoid, kinda like how Christians would force Jews to wear certain clothing in the Middle Ages, so that they knew who to persecute.
The whole marriage/civil union thing is more similar to when blacks were freed, yet recieved second rate "rights", the purpose being for it to look like they were "equal". The purpose of civil unions isn't to persecute gays, but to look like you're giving gays "equal rights" without actually doing that. The the purpose of using a term like common residents" woul be to "mark" that certain population, to let the "citizens" know who to avoid, who to ignore (think The Scarlet Letter).
