"Queeriage" is a term used by some who want to distinguish between marriages performed for same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples. People who use the term may be opposed to same-sex marriage, or support the extension of rights and benefits of civil marriage but want a linguistic means of differentiating the ceremony from heterosexual marriages.

This still leaves the problem of what the equivalent of the verb 'to marry' should be. 'we got queered' is a bit ambiguous!
I'm in a civil partnership in the UK and we jokingly use 'civilised' - but again, the meaning is not always clear.
Cute word! I like it :)
TACKLE YOU HUGS!!!!!!!!!

ps. ssssssshhhhh :)
Wow! I guess there are as many words as there are people! :) Whatever they call it, let's see it happen across America!
I'd like to just be married, if heteros wanna be heteroiage thats fine.
Why the need to invent a word for it? Marriage is the word to describe it.
