Always wanted to ask those who oppose gay marriage...how does gays affect your everyday life? 
I'm sure this isn't your first venue of gay marriage discussions. If it is, you need to get out more but ok, I'll bite.
Gays do not affect my everyday life...they never have, and they never will. For me, granting gays the same socio-economic status as hetero couples is stupid. To me, it makes zero sense...So, lets legalize prostitution. People do it anyway and prostitutes deserve W4's and health benefits and they shouldn't be frowned upon right? They provide a service, if they're legalized, they would be regulated by their pimps and income reported...hell, they could start a union. Why not? Other countries do it...to me it falls right in line with gay marriage only gay marriage will cost me, the taxpayer, more money and legalizing prostitution won't...it will GENERATE revenue.
In the gay marriage argument, I will pay my share (and so will the rest of the country) of their tax relief...married filing jointly pays SIGNIFICANTLY less income tax than single filers. The burden of spousal healthcare, retirement, social security benefits...not the individual benefits, gay get that already, but the survivor benefits. Who pays those? We do...and adding a couple million more people to that benefit line will mean one of two things...I don't get mine that I have paid in for my entire life and you don't get yours OR we pay MORE to support that additional group of people who are now "married" and can receive survivor and/or disability payments for their "spouse".
I think its stupid because I don't think gay couples are equal to hetero couples because they aren't. They bring nothing to the table of society. Diversty isn't an answer. I don't want to pay more for diversity...
