Interesting that you see "same-sex marriage" as the "right-wing's term." We struggled with the right terminology for Courting Equality: A Documentary History of America's First Legal Same-Sex Marriages" (www.courtingequality.com). We didn't want to use "gay marriage' because it seems to imply that a "gay marriage" is different from a "hetero marriage." We just want the right to marry. Fortunately in Massachusetts we've won that right.
