Well, they're not preventing the activity, just withholding the certificate
Not true. Formal, legal marriage is a WHOLE lot more than just a piece of paper. There are all kinds of rights and benefits that go with it. Hence the assertion that some sort of nod at same-sex partnership isn't the same as full legal marriage. And being legally prevented from sharing that sort of arrangement with multiple partners is officially a Big Deal to a few of us...
