Arent couples in Civil Unions hit with gigantic estate taxes when the other dies (as opposed to 0% if you're married)? They arent equal, so unless youre out there in Washington trying to amend some aspects you should probably just quit worrying about the whole thing and get on with your own business.
You dont have to like gay marriage, you dont have to support it, you dont have to teach your kids that its an OK option thats your prerogative. But when it comes to the lives of other people, why do you have to stick your nose in their business?

Gays are grasping little things, too. The bottom line is that they are after government benefits designed to protect women and children,
No, they are after equality. If two gay adults commit their entire life together (like a man/woman), and one dies, is asking for the same tax rules as the straight couple "after government benefits designed to protect women and children"?

If two gay adults commit their entire lives together, it's nobody's business but theirs. Why should the government lose revenue sanctioning it?
Marriage is and always has been an institution for the protection of women and children.
Why are you pretending otherwise?
