Anyone who gets married and has children and on the basis of those "financial incentives" shouldn't be breeding anyway.
Again, it's like you don't have any faith in the whole concept of marriage. The marriages/traditional families will stick together or fall apart no matter what the rules regarding same-sex marriage is.
If people want to get married and have kids, they will do it. Nobody, and I really mean nobody, will avoid getting married and having kids because some other group (same-sex couples) are allowed to get married.
