Actually in the UK (where this particular case that sparked the discussion 
occurred) gay marriage is legal (as of about 2-3 years ago). It isn't 
actually a marriage ceremony, but a 'civil partnership' ceremony that is 
performed to recognise the relationship. It gives the couple many of the 
benefits for home ownership and transfer of assets on death (among others) 
that married couples get.
