Seems to me a faith can call it whatever they want, and some already do. Holy matrimony, the sacrament of marriage, blessed marriage and so on. Those faiths that already accept ‘gay marriage’ probably call it these things as well though.
“Of course we’d have to alter a plethora of laws and regulations to show the differentiation.”
If we are at the point of the state inevetably accepting ‘gay marriage’ in how it recognizes the institution, I’m not sure how relying on the state to protect and differentiate this new term is very plausible, in my opinion. If judges, pols, or the voting public decide that your new official state recognized term that only applies to actual marriage will also be used for gay couples, then that is how the state will recognize it.

It seems to me that we already have DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) on the books. That is Federal Law and remains law, even if Obama does not choose to enforce it. I don’t remember that it has been repealed.
