I know what you are saying. There is no problem with comprehension here. The answer is no - unless, of course, you're willing to give up the term "marriage", as there is no reason why the rest of society should to please you.
Further, you misunderstand your own side if you think that religously married homosexuals could claim the "marriage" term and it would be acceptable to the anti gay marriage crowd. It's not ABOUT the word, it's about denying the equivalence of gay relationships to heterosexual ones. Which is, in the end, why it's nothing more than bigotry dressed up as tradition.
