Reply #33: Different names.

Not separate, but differently named. Either civil or religious ceremonies. Both equal in the law.

That's the best solution, IMO. There have been no same-sex "marriages" for the more than 200 years since the Constitution was ratified. Why is that, now, the only word that will be accepted by you?

If you want to recognize a right that has not been recognized before, that's fine. I agree. But you don't have the right to a name that has meant something different for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
