Civil marriage was once no more than a title of ownership of a woman by a man. Many times it has been the marriage of one wealthy and powerful man to many women. Not long ago it meant marriage between one man and one woman as long as they were the same color.
With such a checkered past I wonder why you bother with the seemingly empty gesture of keeping the name exclusively heterosexual when all the content the name refers to is already granted to everyone.
