Love and companionship?! You don't need marriage for that! Nearly ALL of your arguments are about the monetary rights of gay couples which REQUIRE a marriage in order to be binding. Pick one and stick with it.
Ahem... my arguements are not for the monetary rights of gay couples. My arguements are for the equal treatment of all citizens of this country as it pertains to the law and the government. My arguement for gay marriage is that if the gay society is trying to break its stigma of being a wild, promiscuous society by following common social practices of the rest of the nation, we should help them acheive their goal instead of keeping them from progressing in society. It's not like any of us are going to make them stop being gay. But if they're trying to have something better for themselves, why stop them on the basis of their orientation?
