Quite frankly, I don't understand why they need marriage.
Many heterosexual couples are opting not to formalise their unions in the
eyes of the state, and of course they are married in the sight of God as
soon as they become one flesh anyway.
They are married even though they are not married in the eyes of the state.
Homosexuals, even if they become married in the eyes of the state, are not
able to become married in the eyes of God, because God has only made
marriage possible between a man and a woman. All a man can become with
another man is a worse sinner than he was before.
