That's pretty dumb. Why is it terrible for same sex couples to be married? What possible basis do you have to want to make a law against their usage of a word if you're willing to functionally grant them the exercise of their right to contract?
Because the definition of the word is not defined by a gay couple's relationship. What's dumb is thinking marriage is the same, as it's obviously not. You don't seem to think words are power - they are, and they matter.
Define a gay couples act of commitment differently, give all the rights and privileges. That is the right thing to do.
