First of all, I'll say that I'm against it. Everyone's morales are different so
it's not worth debating here. There is one aspect that no one here has brought up. This may not apply to Canada or other countries but it sure as hell would affect the US financially. Certain rights come with that "piece of paper" as Old called it. Take for instance the small business owner that has
to provide insurance for his employees. His insurance policy covers wokers and their families. If gay marriage is legally recognized, he is also burdened with covering the partener in a gay relationship. That may not sound like much , but you do it a million times over and it begins to show up economically. You could anticipate hospital charges increasing and being passed on to the patients due to the extra coverage costs of these parteners. What about the high incidence of aids in the gay community. Those extra costs will be passed on as well. Those are just a few examples of how wide spread legalization of gay marriages could impact us economically rolleyes:
