The same could happen if you force gay couples to refer to themselves as having something other than a marriage.

I wonder if those opposed to the word marriage "being redefined" to include same-sex couples disagree with the outcome of Loving v. Virginia? It redefined marriage for many states. Should interracial couples have been given something called other than marriage?
