I'm not going to hate on you. And I agree that the main reason gays are still treated un-equally has nothing to do with the "sanctity of marriage" lipservice but by the belief that people will take advantage of the system, and lie about relationships to get benefits. Eventhough I can just as easily see a man and a woman pull off the same scheme. And I know a few people who have married people they werent even with because of benefits and citizenship.
America is behind the ball on this one but that will change with time. It will change sooner than later also, I believe no matter who is president. When push comes to shove, it will be a state by state issue like it already is now.
