Well actually if you had read my post 26 in response to your post 18, you would see that I stated we will be paying higher federal and state taxes as married rather than single.

Why should married couples, gay or straight, get preferential treatment over single persons?
Obviously the solution is to get government out of marriage and leave it to the church. Everyone, married or single, deserves the same treatment.
That isn't going to happen. And I do find it odd that this whole "get the government out of marriage" thing was not really heard of before SSM started winning.

Of course it was. The SSM crowd just wasn't listening. The catholic church has raised it for decades.

One right in particular that made me become a big supporter of same sex marriage was immigration sponsorship of a foreign spouse. Assuming you believe that marriage should be a criteria to sponsor a foreign spouse to the US, would you also support "friendship" a criteria for a single person to sponsor a friend to the US?

Gives Mail order Bride/Husband a whole new meaning. I can see some Russian mail order brides chomping at the bit at doubling their chance of getting American Citzenship

Cute, but marriage predates the church by several thousand years .
