I think that is the exact issue alskann legal recognition of a partnership between two people who are codependent on each other is all they seek mostly. In Ontario they have that right and it has been done in a manner so as not to threaten religious groups rights. Though at first it looked like that would not be the case.
When it comes to who has the rights to speak for a ill person a living will can accomplish that if it is done correctly. I think getting more legislation in place is ok still but I would want it worded in a way that it does not effect the regular marriages under the eyes of the churches and God. I do not have to like it but I will accept it.

Gay Marriage - Same-Sex Marriage (Hover)
Same-sex marriage is to become legal in Maine and Maryland, CNN projects.
It is the first time that same-sex marriage has been approved by a popular vote, not court action or in a legislature. The result of a vote on the same issue is still pending in Washington, as is a measure that would ban same-sex marriage in Minnesota. Ref. CNN
The Supreme Court said it will tackle the issue of same-sex marriage and hear two constitutional challenges to state and federal laws dealing with the recognition of gay and lesbian couples wishing to legally wed.
The one-page order issued Friday by the justices comes weeks after voters approved same-sex marriage in three states.
Oral arguments in the high court appeal will likely be held in March, with a ruling by late June. Ref. CNN
