Here, the debate is not really about marriage itself, but about the rights that marriage gives to married couples, namely the rights to adoption and artificial insemination.

I think that marriage will be extended to same-sex couples in the not so distant future, so that homosexuals can have the same rights in terms of inheritance, social security, that kind of stuff... *but* i suspect the law will be modified so that adoption and artificial insemination are only available to opposite-sex couples.

So it will be the same name, but not the exact same thing.
