I have no doubt that the intention was otherwise, but, well, this looks like a good way to start a flame-war in the comments section of your livejournal. Indeed, your last sentence seems to indicate that you wouldn't mind if it happened.
My opinion in part (and probably in the most relevant part) is as follows: Regardless of one's political/philosophical/religious affiliation, it is not practical (and I can't see it being desirable either, from a legislative standpoint) to enact legislative differentiation between heterosexuals and homosexuals. That being said, gay marriage is not the same thing as marriage is under the traditional definition. Perhaps it should be assigned to a perfectly good word looking for a meaning - perhaps "kwyjibo"?
