What is in a name? Your solution is simply an end run around a contentious word that in the end gives the exact same thing: society's endorsement of homosexual relationships.
BTW, all of the "oppression" you cite can already be dealt with by existing legal instruments such as powers of attorney, contracts and wills. That these existing solutions are ignored is proof that what homosexuals want is not legal equality but the forced acceptance of their lifestyle choice.

BTW, all of the "oppression" you cite can already be dealt with by existing legal instruments such as powers of attorney, contracts and wills. Do you deny that the 'opperession' exists? What would be your grounds if some legal protection was extended to Blacks, but available to Whites only through extraordinary means? Extended to women automatically, but males had to hire a lawyer and file additional paperwork.
Bottom line, "equal protection under the law" means that all groups are treated equally. It is patently unfair to demand that one group perform extra paperwork to obtain the rights that another group enjoys automatically.
