Frankly, I'm a little sick of straight people claiming that dropping the word marriage or compromising in any way would be terrible, mainly because they're not the ones who have to live with the consequences. That said, I have no idea if it would work.

First, the problem is not "marriage," the problem is bigotry.
Second, "seperate but equal" has been tried. Perhaps, learn from history.
Third, bigots are not only wrong, but on the wrong side of history. While they may enjoy further victories along the way, when the "dust settles", they will have lost. Progress by it's nature can't be stopped.
