So what it boils down to is that you don't want gay people who are legally married to refer to themselves as married correct?
Still, this doesn't explain how gay marriage devalues marriage as a whole.
Let me ask you this. If you are happily married and one day you are driving home and a story comes on the radio that the president has signed into law a nationwide gay marriage law making gay marriage legal in all states (I know this isn't how things work, but use this for the sake of this example) are you going to go home and call off your marriage? Are you going to walk in and tell your spouse that your marriage has no value now that all the gay people can get married?
Likely not.
The value of a marriage is determined by each couple that is in a marriage. There are straight couples that lie and cheat on each other and break their marriage vows all the time. Clearly, to them, their marriage has little value. There are others that take marriage very seriously and place a lot of value in it. It is how you and your spouse conduct yourselves within your marriage that determines the value of your marriage.
