Not sure of the numbers, but I do imagine that in a small economic way, Gay marriage would affect taxpayers, federally and economically. With gay married couples being given the same benefits and tax laws as traditional married couples (better/cheaper benefits/assistances etc). it means that there would be less tax being collected, and, higher premiums for Health Care, and various company benefit programs etc. then two people paying seperate taxes and paying into beneift/health care programs seperately....meaning everyone else now pays more.
Maybe very minor, but it can affect everyone, in a financial way.

I don't think that's the issue though.. it's just the use of the word marriage
