For the purpose of one old queen being able to visit his special friend dying of HIV in the Hospital I tentatively agree. The contractual right to surviouship to inherit the house also makes some sense, but that is not marriage and could never be called that.

Let them call it Fratrimony for lack of a better word. And a man cannot have a husband, that's just creepy. Call the other guy a brubond.

Don't see any reference to husband being the spouse of another man. But that's only Ramndom House Unabridged Dictionary's opinion.

You can already leave your property to anyone you wish. There are wills and power of attorney. To call that anything recognizes a relationship and that will end up being the camels nose in the tent.
