Marriage applies exclusively to a man and a woman, as far as I am aware homosexual couples are still not allowed to be 'married' per se, they have Civil Partnerships, at least that's how it is in the UK. I don't see any harm in letting them be married though, it's the same in all but name. But you did use the specific word...
Why so worried by gay people anyway. You come at it from a Christian point of view, but the only section in the bible that could be construed as anti-homosexual is in Leviticus, which has been widely discredited by many mainstream Christians as not being the true word of God, as it was written much later than the rest of the Bible. Leviticus also states that it is a sin to cut your own hair and wear clothing made of more than one type of fibre - so you'd best burn all the polyester in your wardrobe or you're going straight down to Hell too....

A partnership, or a civil partnership. In this case, the man and woman are husband and wife in 'common law,' but not officially.
Creating a child, whether or not in wedlock, is known as procreation.

marriage comes from a statement of God about man and woman
the two shall become one flesh...
I would stick with the word marriage and avoid the tempation to redefine it...marriage is historically defined
alternative relationship might be better...

haroon doesn't know what he's saying.
In the Bible it uses the phrase "to lie with" to mean that a couple had sex. But marriage is the word that describes it. It's just that ppl have corrupted it to extend to homosexual couples, which is sinful. God outlawed homosexual behavior in Leviticus 18:22

What is your problem? Just because you can't find love, don't try to keep other people from finding it. Really. The world will not die out because some people are homosexual. They're not hurting you. Move on.
