That this debate is not about the term marriage, but the fact religious people by their beliefs think gays shouldn't be gay, and that its wrong to be gay and it angers their god.
Its like the debate over the word is the 'nice' way to fight against Gays gaining any further rights or more importantly acceptance into the mainstream culture. Since a great deal of the religious crowd are fearful of gay people, their culture, and influence on society.
It doesn't take much imagination to see parallels to other groups singled out for various reasons throughout history, this debate just hides its true obvious reasons behind semantics.

THANK YOU.
This is what I was trying to say, only more eloquent and not as confrontational as I put it.
There is just no way that this "fight" is really over the use of a word.
