If this "marriage" thing is allowed, I will no longer provide medical insurance to my employees. I would be opening myself up to law suits by fruits who come out of the closet and demand that I pay for insurance for their sexual partners. I would of course refuse, then they would try to get my house.

That is only one area, you can think of many more if you try.

That is private sector decisions. What does the government provide? You chose not to offer same sex insurance, my employer does offer it. If you have gay employees that aren't happy, they can try to get a job at a company that satisfies them. The bennie packages often cause people to change employment. A gay person has this freedom, as do I.

Well, if you're in Michigan and purchase through Blue Cross/Blue Shield, it's too late. In fact, they will issue policies (if you, the employer want one) to unmarried same sex couples, but NOT to unmarried opposite sex couples. Talk about discrimination!
