I guess I should have been more clear before making that comment.

How is saying that they cannot use the word "marriage" not denying them something?
What is your compromise? Creating a fun new "gay" word? You mean, like a slur? Like a word that identifies them as "not really married". I know you've said it's all exactly the same except that word, but what I'm trying to point out is that just the fact that it is a different word labels them as not good enough for the "real" one.
And thanks for the clarification. Though I fail to recognize how you cannot have emotional stock in an issue that goes way beyond letting gays call themselves married.
