Not really. Honestly, many of the things that people want marriage and marriage analogs for are things that could be addressed differently and in some cases, more fairly. In some cases, contracts can help meet some of the needs (for example, one can get medical powers of attorney) and universal rights/entitlements (like health care) would help take care of people who need marriage/unions to obtain those things. marriage and marriage analogs will give the most benefit to those with the most resources anyway. I would rather that we spend our political energy differently, looking after those who are the most vulnerable across the board, which includes many in LGBT communities. Instead, we tend to focus on what will most benefit those who already have a lot *since they have a lot of power too, and can manipulate the discussion).

I found this discussion, "Is Gay Marriage Racist", which I read first in That's Revolting: Queer Stratgies to resisting assimilation to be really helpful in thinking through some issues that were nagging at me but I couldn't quite put into words. It's really radical and I do not agree with every point they bring up, but it's an interesting read.

In some states, there are laws preventing things like second parent adoption, and I'd like to see these removed more than I'd like to see marriage and marriage analogs put into place.
