I'm assuming you mean the legal rights you obtain through marriage? If so, California allows just about all of these rights to *** and lesbian couples already...just doesn't allow the use of the term marriage.

Ignoring the legal rights, I'd assume "it" is the state acknowledging the legality of the "permanent" [ay, not so much anymore] bond between two people.

See this is why words matter.
If its a permenant bond, then other things that are permenant must be required to either be called Marriage or not be permenant. Can two men enter into a business partnership then? Thats a bond right? Does it have to have an end date? I'll spell this out more clearly because some Croats might be reading; You can't start passing legislation without know what it is you're putting into law. I think if we get down to it, marriage is going to have a spiritual connotation. At which point, I think we can both agree the law has no place in. Without a spiritual nature, i'm not sure waht Marriage is.

People on these boards just can not handle my mind blowing metaphors.
You're looking at that backwards. This is in the context of the bond. I want to know whats bonded in Marriage, and if its just simply a bond, is this restricting other bonds? If the nature is different, explain that one.

The civil institution of marriage is regulated by the state because it has specific social benefits, namely promoting stability in the relationship which has positive effects on the partners and society as a whole, not the least of which is creating a stable environment for child rearing.

The restrictions aren't the same under the law because the current law states as such. Your metaphors are mind blowingly stupid.
