Do not kid yourself, the gays and liberals do not want same sex marriage for economic benefit. They want moral equality and nothing less. The economic benefits are a smokescreen, and they drew you in, just like the lawyers want to draw the Judges in. The attack on our system is relentless, and because of the apathy of most voters, a Constitutional Amendment is the only alternative.
In a word... BULL!
This IS about homosexual couples receiving the same benefits MARRIED heterosexual couples receive. If it were otherwise, this would have been an issue when the "marriage tax" penalty was still in force.
Get the government, at all levels OUT OF MARRIAGE.
