I don't think Hetero couples "need" that certificate. I know people who are perfectly happy with just being "together" and never getting married because they're scared of the idea of marriage. I think if a couple is to just get married because they want that legal status of being married and for that certificate, then they're being blinded by the real reason of marriage.

And they're being denied of the right to get married because it's illegal. Plain and simple. Again, health concerns and liabilities should be brought up and decided by the company itself. Not by the state or laws. That's all they want, right? Health insurance, life insurance, hospital visits, etc., correct? They don't have to be "married" to love eachother... right? Then why not fight for the companies and insurance policies to change, as opposed to letting homosexual couples get married? I guarantee, that if homosexual couples ever are allowed to get married, the same insurance companies and hospitals will DENY the same things they are denying now. Think about it.
