What does pro-gay mean? I don't think there are too many anti-gay gays (though, of course, there are some). But perhaps most straight people - and not a few gay ones - would be surprised at how many homosexuals see gay marriage as a sell-out, a bougious ideal of straights best not emmulated. Still others (again, many more than you might expect) see the marriage goal as a distraction from more legitimate and crucial gay rights pursuits. And others see it as a foolish drive that's just gonna cause unnecessary troubles.
If you wanna call it the Gay Marriage Agenda, that's fine. Anything else is an inaccurate generalization. And yes, if opponent's have sucessfully tarred a particular phrase with a negative connotation, there's not need to try to "take back" that phrase .... especially if it wasn't a particularly accurate phrase to begin with.
