You can certainly try to do so, but it can be challenged. The protections marriage convey are automatic and far more powerful. Also, because homosexual couples are denied legal recognitions, things like heathcare, pensions, social security benefits, etc. may not be providible by one partner to another.
Case in point is Michigan where various groups are using their recent marriage amendment to prevent homosexual couples from having healthcare.
Does it make you feel better that you can make other peoples lives more difficult? I simply cannot understand this attitude.

Please. This isn't about keeping the government out. The government doesn't want to come in your bedroom and tell you to stop having anal sex. This is about gay people wanting to legitimize a deviant sexual behavior.

Deviant sexual behavior? Homosexuality is not deviant, it is merely one aspect of human sexuality. A bit of research into the real world would be enlightening. How do you feel about intersexed people? Are they deviant as well? Are they homosexual or straight?

Again, who cares what consenting adults do behind closed doors? I sure don't. But do not expect me or the government to legitimize this extremely unhealthy, deviant lifestyle . . . At least as it exists between men. Seriously, this is all about men wanting to be able to poke their noses, fingers, tongues and sexual organs into another man's dookey hole! How freaking gross and deviant is THAT?
Why claim that you don't care why consenting adults do behind closed doors when you so obviously do? Or do you not care so long as publicly homosexuals act like heterosexuals?
I never understand the anal fixation that many anti-gay people seem to have. You do realize that there are most likely far more heterosexual people who engage in anal activities than gay men. I think it's reasonable to assume that every single part of the human body has been used in a sexual capacity and that that will continue to the end of time. Sex is a highly personal thing and different things are liked by different folks. Duh.

And, by the way, I don't have a problem with two women wanting to marry. They make good mommies for lots of adoptable kids and don't do the "in through the out door" sexual deviancy. They can also be artificially impregnated in order to generate more taxpayers. But I don't see how a law could be written to allow that but not allow it between two sick, twisted males.
LOL.
The classic heterosexual male "lesbians are OK, but gays are gross" reasoning. What a complete cognitive disconnect from reality.
