Well it's politically correct to say "sure, why not".
But tell me why gays need to be married, for the benefits, and tax breaks?
Heteros get married because it's traditional and chances are they will have children that will inherit the family genetics and coincidentally the family name, something inherently important for generations... millennia.
With the increasingly growing tax burden on society, why extend the tax breaks and benefits designed to help families with the financial drain of raising a family, to gays?
Personally I voted no because I don't see a justifiable need that would outweigh the costs to society.
Gay marriage will take billions and billions out of the public and private pension funds, insurance companies and tax coffers. That money will have to be replaced by higher taxes, contributions and premiums... but hey, it's politically correct.
