Is that why straight people get married? Are you upset that same sex couples can now get married for the same reason you got married?

So why shouldn't gay couple be entitled to the same benefits?

Equal Protection Clause.

Intended to grant citizenship to former slaves and nothing to do with gay marriage.

What about the 10th Amendment? Doesn't the 10th Amendment lets states ban homosexuals from voting if that's what they want?

Marriage, and the benefits of marriage, is for man and woman.

What's rights are they being denied? Marriage is between 1 man and 1 women.

I won't have to start it. Texas has a awesome history of starting revolutions...I will just join in and help.Just remember you pushed us to this not vice versa...

The right to vote is given to all citizens by the Constitution and can't be denied by the states.
