You can cohabit with the person you love. Nothing in California law prohibits gay men and women from living together if they want. Where does it say the union needs to be officially sanctioned for them to be together?

The need for it to be officially sanctioned exists in the minds of the homos. The mere fact that they are demanding the word is an admission that they feel guilty in what they do. Knowing they aren't going to be sanctioned by the church (or the laws of God) they are forced to have their guilt mitigated by having society, through law, recognize their union as on parity with heteros. So their God has become the state.

In essence, demanding that the state be their 'god' and grant them acceptance, removing the stain of sin and its attendant psychological/spiritual consequences.
