If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

I don't see why we can't just get a new term.

That way, they can still get "married," and, when they use the term, there's no confusion at all about the person they're married to. It would be of the same gender.

...You don't call gay men lesbians, but, gay women get called gay or lesbian so why not? Less confusion, they're not technically married, but, still "are." Everyone's happy...

ah...so you are one of the "separate but equal" supporters?

I guess that answers why that suggestion was never done.
