You said this before and you're still wrong. The government's involvement in marriage is financial and legal. They get to collect license fees. The government also establishes the legal parameters of the relationship.
The government sanctions single parent households every day. What else would you call the financial assistance given to welfare moms?
As for the benefit to society, as you like to talk about the spread of disease by homosexuals, there is a possibility that gay marriage will get a number of them to "settle" down resulting in a decrease in the number of new STD cases. I would consider that a benefit to society.
