You _can_ use a two-column matrix with counts of successes and failures in the two columns

And if you know what the number n of observations was (which you would need to anyway for using proportions in a logistic regression) youcan calculate that matrix from the proportions and n, as long as you're reasonably careful about rounf=ding.
