Fixing all that would be laudable of course, but how do you solve the problem of foreign governments respecting those? If you go abroad on holiday, you would want the right to speak for your partner in a hospital as well! Also, what's wrong with calling the set of those rights marriage? Two best friends can already get married in a lot of countries if they wish.

As a gay man many foreign governments won't respect my current marriage so I fail to see the issue. Every foreign government does not already recognize it. Hell we had enough issues in the US alone of every state recognizing every marriage (Common Law is not recognized in most states). I don't have an issue with the word. But they should not be grouped together and have any restrictions on it being 2 people. 2 best friends may want to setup the kinship agreement but why does that mean they get tax benefits or any other benefit traditionally associated with marriage.
