Gay Marriage- I have no problem with gay couples, I have no problem with that. What I possibly reject to is the term 'Marriage'. This is because it is seen by religious followers as a union between a man and a woman. A government cannot make laws regarding to religion

So do you think that Daniels marriage will be a fraud also? Civil unions for "conventional" couples have been legal for many years where's the religious element in that?

So my understanding is that you don't want the word used, and they can't have a religious ceremony. I can't see the logic myself, like I said a words a word. Also it's worth pointing out that many same sex couples already have their commitment blessed in a religious ceremony.
