Also, insurance coverage cannot be obtained on employer insurance plans for the other person in the relationship. That's something that there is no possible legal remedy for.

I have about as much truck with insurance as with gay marriage,
but agree with your point. In spirit. In truth, gays can drop the offensive
(to most) "marriage" term, if in fact their purpose is strictly legal,
despite the fact that the term does also have legal defs.
However, I'm pretty sure that "offense" is the point for many of them.
You can legally adopt your lover, and there are orgs that will help, even,
so not buying the "no legal remedy."
One needn't even go that far; claiming one as a dependent
on their taxes has held up in court for these purposes-
-you just have to be prepared to fight for your right, just like normal people.
