Gay people deserve all the benefits straight people can have. And don't bring up the raising a kid bullshit. I'm 50785% certain that Gay people are as good at raising a child, which they could adopt. We need more people to adopt. There are too many kids without homes. I say more adoption. Giving gay people the benefits may encourage them to adopt. Hell, it should encourage everyone to adopt. While I realize that homeless children is more than slightly off-topic, I simply mentioned it to demonstrate that good things can come out of gay marriage with benefits. IMO, saying 2 people of the same sex can't marry is like saying 2 people raised in different states can't marry; you know why? Because being from a different state doesn't make you bad, just like being gay!
