""You damn fool. This is not about two people who love each other. This is about the fabric of our society.""
It is about two people who love each other. I didn't marry my wife to support the fabric of society.
Calling someone a damn fool doesn't support your point either.
"""Once you remove the basis, then it doesn't matter who gets "married" or why. If "love" is the basis, then every aspect of marriage is up for grabs. If gender is arbitrary, so is number, familial relationship, species, etc."""
People like you always try to stretch what people are saying
Marrieage is between two people that love each other. Marriage between family members is wrong not because of religious or even in some cases a moral ones. It is wrong, do to genetics and inbreeding problems that could develope. If an adopted man meets a girl and falls in love and gets married, and it is found out later that she is his sister, was he morally wrong for marrying her.
And the reference to species is absurd.
"""No more tax benefits, no more estate planning (except perhas for progeny)."""
You have poor reasons for getting married.
I got married for love. Tax benefits and estate planning was never a factor or a concideration.

Basically, you are saying marriage is whatever you want it to be. The 2 number is arbitrary. The inbreeding issue means that marriage is to create kids -- if so, then homosexuals are striken. If not, then your argument fails. You can't win that one.
Your selfish "I didn't get married to support thh fabric of society" is short-sighted. Whay get married at all? If you have love, then you don't need a piece of paper.
Saying "Marriage is about Love" is as childish as saying "War is Bad."
