What if someone wants to Marry their best friend, same sex, but neither are gay? There are massive benefits to being married, especially with the amount of borrowing power you have. So two dudes are total best-bro's for life, and they don't want the inconvenience of a traditional marriage but still want the benefits. Why can they not have a classification of a civil union if they choose to go joint on everything? I have male friends I love and care about likely more than any woman that could come along in my life at this point, since they have been friends for 30+ years. The physical act of sex is not required under a marriage license, so can we get married as two straight men?
(This is hypothetical of course.... yes, hypothetical, that's it.)

I had a buddy that did something similar. He shared an apartment with two chicks, one was pretty hot (she had great thighs). The only draw back was his landlord, well the husband was old school and didn't like the idea of a guy living with two women. The wife was pretty cool, she seem into it. My buddy pretended to be gay, the landlord never really believed him, I mean it didn't help that a 3rd buddy of ours was always setting him up with dates and often my buddy would get caught up difficult to explain situations. The landlord was always questioning my buddy's sexuality, but he managed to pull it off for 7 years while he was in Law School.
