Sort of, we both share the ability to have a marriage to a member of the opposite sex recognized, and we both share the ability to not marry. Those are not rights but rather benefits afforded us under the law. We are equal in that regard.

The problem comes into play when the narrow definitions of marriage, as defined by governments, are the basis of recognition and entitlement.
