Oh, please, I know many people who are more than tolerant of gays and aren't conservative Christian, but have no desire to see the definition of marriage changed. Marriage is between a man and a woman. If gays want a commitment ceremony, they can find their own name for that relationship, BUT IT ISN'T MARRIAGE!

I think that's the right thing to do in the legal sense. I'd even drop the term marriage is a legal term, in favor of "civil union" or some such. What such a relationship is called in religious terms is a matter for the interpretation of each religion. What such a relationship is called at a personal level is a matter for individuals and society.
