I agree Siameseparrot, but if you read what is defined as marriage in Wikipedia, some consideration should be made to sort the issue out once and for all.
Same-sex marriage ------------------ Main article: Same-sex marriage Various types of same-sex marriages have existed,[37] ranging from informal, unsanctioned relationships to highly ritualized unions.[38]
While it is a relatively new practice that same-sex couples are being granted the same form of legal marital recognition as commonly used by mixed-sex couples, recent publicity and debate over the past decade gives an impression that civil marriage for lesbian and gay couples is novel and untested. There is a long history of recorded same-sex unions around the world.[39] It is believed that same-sex unions were celebrated in Ancient Greece and Rome,[39] some regions of China, such as Fujian, and at certain times in ancient European history.[40] A law in the Theodosian Code (C. Th. 9.7.3) issued in 342 CE imposed severe penalties or death on same-sex marriage in ancient Rome[41] but the exact intent of the law and its relation to social practice is unclear, as only a few examples of same-sex marriage in that culture exist.[42]
And that's another term that could be used for gay marriage, .... "same sex marriage", .... simple as that.
