No. it's not.

My argument is "I do not believe that these benefits should e arbitrarily gated behind only one specific legally recognized relationship/contact that has pre-existing social baggage associated with it beyond the legalities thereof. Long-term relationships of te appropriate type should have access to those benefits without unwanted or unnecessary baggage."
