Wrong. I've been saying this from the get-go... that gay marriage would become a FEDERAL issue because one of the main reasons gay couples want to get married is so their spouse can have the social security benefits. From the gays I know, this is the primary reason they want to get married. It's all about money from the government.

I agree 100%. What happens when Mass. allows gay marriages and Ohio doesn't? Can Ohio say we're not going to pay for Mass.'s gays? Will Ohio decide it's not fair to their gays to not get the benefits that Mass. gays do (hence allowing gay marriage in Ohio to spite Mass. and cut off our noses)?

I agree rintense. A large number of AIDS infected people, and people with HIV are on SSD (disability through the Social Security Laws) as well. Are there survivor benefits through Social Security?
