This isn't simply semantics, its an attempt to take the concept of union of man and woman and diminish it by calling any union a marriage. To illustrate its like the government deciding to call anyone it deems a nice person to now be called a saint, so aany nice people can now be called a saint, it would diminish the concept of a saint in the same way calling any civil partnership a marriage diminishes the concept of marriage.
Some gays believe in god too and have a different view of marriage. Who says your beliefs are more valid?
Diminishes the concept of marriage? Says you. They will disagree and so would I.
