It's one thing to say "live and let live" in the libertarian sense, but once you get into the government recognizing it, problems are presented.

Perhaps we should tackle this one equality at a time. This thread isn't about beastiality, polygomy, or incest. I can see why someone might say, "When will it go too far?", but those things are arguabally much farther away from the norm than homosexuality. Obviously beastiality, pedophilia (outside of parental permission), necrophilia, and sock puppets are out considering that both members cannot enter into a contract. Polgamy is another thread, but I suppose that that and this are not completly dissimilar, though they are far from the same.
This needs to be argued on it's own merrits, not by trying to associate it with socially unacceptable behavior like necrophilia or beastiality.
