I need it, if my boyfriend passes, or if he cheated on me and accidently fell down a flight of stairs, i'd be screwed as far as benefits, funeral expenses, etc.. It bothers me that in a country where I pay taxes, obey the law (for the most part) I can't get the same support a straight couple does simply because both of us have penises. Even if I weren't gay, I'd still support it because I don't believe personal beliefs have any place in a discussion about civil rights. Unless homosexuals are animals, we should have access to everything available to straight couples. Except appearing on Dr. Phil, you guys can keep that.

Not to mention the stimulation it might give the weak economy. Imagine two queens planning a wedding. $500 Louis Vatton napkins. The US is missing out on tons of dollars by not allowing gay marriage, it's not just about what we can RECEIVE but what we can CONTRIBUTE.
