#1- Gay Marriage y/n?

[Rowan13]

re-posted I had some post-time error idk what that was.
I see people voting *against* gay marriage and yet not having the necessary testicular appendices do type-in a support for their opinion (not trying to steer away the ladies, ovaries are also accepted).

1) The main argument for marriage benefits and tax breaks is the economic stability of married households and thus the benefit for the economy as a whole. This applies unconditionally to homosexual couples as well.
2) Homosexuals can adopt, taking the burden off the state.
3) Adopted children raised by homosexual families will grow up in far superior socioeconomic conditions than government institutions, and will do better in life as a result
4) There is no peer reviewed study that shows children raised by homosexual parents are in any way disadvantaged than those raised by heterosexual ones. In 2005, the APA noted there had been 59 peer reviewed studies, all coming to the same conclusion, while zero studies found the opposite.
5) Homosexuals are statistically more likely to be better off financially than heterosexuals, thus contributing more on average to the state coffers. There is no concept of "leeching" off straight people, if anything it is the opposite.

Furthermore, there are a number of benefits for homosexuals themselves not covered by civil unions such as:

Ability to live in neighborhoods deemed "families only"
Access to survivor benefits in case of emergency
Access to spouse's crime victims' recovery benefits
Ability to file wrongful death claims
Right to shared property, child support, and alimony after divorce
Access to adopting children
Automatic inheritance of share assets after spouse's death
Veterans discounts based on spouse's armed forces status
Assumption of spouse's pension after death
Ability to file joint bankruptcy
Ability to collect unemployment benefits after leaving a job to relocate because of spouse's job move
Access to fostering children
Ability to invoke spousal right in a court of law
Prison visitation rights
Hospital visitation rights (in some states in zeh USA)

Gays can't do this as of the moment, by denying them these rights we are contributing for the maintenance of a damaging state of existence :v
