I realize that you think I hold that view because I despise gay couples, but I'm not changing my view because you hate it.
I also think (agree?) that the state should not bestow additional rights on any married couples. Not practical though.

You can't be 100% equal and not the exact same. Being equal and being the same have the identical meaning. It's like saying you would give up liberty for more freedom.
If you give gay marriage a different name it's not equal. If you gave straight marriage a different name it's not equal. The only way to have things equal is to give everyone the exact same marriage rights.
I understand you don't like the idea, that's fine, you can have whatever view point you want. But stop saying you want everyone treated the same when it's clear you don't.
