And anyone who wants to enter into such a contractual relationship - barring legitimate state interests like protecting minors, etc. - should have this right.

But that violates the equal protection of single people and polygamists if you give those in 2 person domestic partnerships more benefits or greater protection under the law. Unless there is some legitimate reason to give those in 2 person domestic partnerships more benefits or greater protection under the law, it is unconstitutional.
What are the legitimate state interests in 2 person domestic partnership that warrant this unequal treatment of single persons and polygamists?
