If you want to play the separate but equal route, why not redefine hetro-sexual/homo-sexual since they are separate but equal. If you don't want any identifiers don't use the term gay or even same-sex marriage. I'm not sure why your hung up on defining marriage as between a man and a woman. If you think using a term that identifies a person as gay is offensive then that is the issue you need to address. Why are you ashamed of them, why do they have to hide? Or, do you just think if other peopel know they're gay they will hate? > I don't detest people that don't agree with me (some projection there, > maybe?) .
