I know you said "In Theory" but never the less, this poses all kinds of legal repercussions, as marriage is as much a court matter as it is ceremonial. Plenty of legal rights involved in marriage (and also divorce) as well as ownership and protective rights are a part of the reason why marriage should be allowed between straight or gay couples.
Hence my division into "practice" and "theory". As I acknowledged: For now,marriage is not a private, but an official matter, and therefore equal rights must apply to all. I would rather have the
legal (not
ritual) concept of marriage thrown overboard altogether today than tomorrow, but I am not naive.
There's no rational reason for it. It's the same as being disgusted by eating insects, even though they are allegedly tasty and high in nutritional value. Gut feeling. Taste, if you will. Hence my:

There is nothing different from gay sex as there is from straight. The logistics perhaps, but with physical interaction there is hardly a difference.
As I said: the
idea of two men (the gender I am not attracted to) engaging in forms of sex I personally find rather disgusting to begin with (anal intercourse), is off-putting to me. As opposed to quite a lot of men I don't find lesbianism attractive either, to be frank, but the lack of ass-fucking, as far as the stereotype goes, makes it seem somewhat less appalling to me.
