The Social security survivor benefits, tax benefits and health care benefits alone would be in the hundreds of billions of dollars over the course time.

What, gays are 5% of the population? Max 10%? And you think they ALL will marry?

I would suggest more like 3%. The radical homosexual lobby tries to pump this # up continuously. Also pure Homosexuality is very rare. Most self proclaimed homosexuals have engaged in heterosexual sex. Very few Heterosexuals have engaged in homosexual acts. None the less this increase in $ when extrapolated out over a population of 300,000,000. is billions of $'s over the course of time.

regardless of costs the can of worms this idea of same sex marriage opens up is undesireable for our country period.
