To me, I think it's a lot easier to educate children on the subject matter. I believe that the way they are doing it is the correct way, because those people who do not believe in gay marriage due to religious beliefs will be able to explain to their children about their beliefs and the differences much easier this way. I equate it to the geometrical principle of quadrilaterals, a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is a not a square. They have different properties, such the same as marriage is a civil union, but a civil union is not a marriage. A marriage is a civil union between a man and a woman, a civil union is a union between two people.
This all isn't to say I support being gay, because that a whole different issue entirely, but this is what I think about the terminology.
