On that point you are wholly correct!
The flawed “they-just-want-benefits-so-let’s-give-it-to-them-but-not-call-it-’marriage’” fiasco was the biggest downfall of conserva-tarians, because it played directly into the sodomites’ hands. We readily AGREED with the homo-activists and ADMITTED that something was “unfair,” and tried to “fix” this false disparity. Homosexuals are some of the most affluent and powerful people in the nation. What “benefit” did they need, as a group, that they didn’t have the means of obtaining by normal, unobtrusive means?
