Marriage, implies religious connotations, so if your religious you get married in a church or what ever, and the state should stay the hell out of it, separation of church and state.
A later 2004 study by the Congressional Budget Office finds 1,138 statutory provisions "in which marital status is a factor in determining or receiving 'benefits, rights, and privileges.'"[89] Many of these laws govern property rights, benefits, and taxation. Same-sex couples, whose marriages are not recognized by the state, are ineligible for spousal and survivor Social Security benefits.

I have always seen threads about equal rights and such for gays. The one thing that always comes up when an anti gay person chimes in..is gay sex. Why do they care so much about what other consenting adults are doing in their own rooms? Why is gay sex always on their minds?

I get why religious people think gays are evil and that religious folk still live in the dark ages. Religion is just a archaic way of thinking and should never be brought into any intelligent debate...do these same people still think that witches should be burned at the stake?
My main point is why does the topic of sexual acts always come into a debate about of rights for gays.
Why do the anti gay people think more about gay sex than the pro gay people? Is it about secret desires they harbor that makes them feel so much hate?
I am not gay...and could care less what they do...I also think they should have the same rights as every one...let them suffer with the same fate as straight married people do.

But you are right, they care more about what happens in my private chambers than I do!
