And the second they try to FORCE an employer to pay benefits is the instant I'll oppose them with everything I have

LOL. You may as well jump ship now because you're boat has a gignatic leak called "fundamental right". Of course Kennedy waxed poetically about "liberty of the person both in its spatial and more transcendent dimensions."

But what he meant but didn't have the balls to say was that homosexuality is a fundamental right and due all the government and private largesse that they can suck out of those entities.

Why do I get this feeling that my favorite pit bull that I helped "trained" this week, among others, has broken away from his leash, and is now round and about in the neighborhood, snaping and biting? Give em hell. :)

I can't deny that the majority of the newly 'freed' gays will be pushing for marriage and benefits.

I'd prefer that they just call their ... arrangements... something else. Not marriage.
By the same token, do you REALLY want the Federal Government to start defining and regulating marriage?
I think the idea we have to get a LICENSE to marry is absurd to begin with. License implies PERMISSION.

And I'm certainly against forcing businesses to recognize their 'arrangements' as requiring benefits.

Perhaps what really should be done is to pass a few affirmative laws. Clearly supporting the right of business to assign benefits to whom they choose.
