Other reasons:

Tax deductions, if one partner is not working, sick, or otherwise not better off filing single.
Health insurance - plenty of companies still don't offer "domestic partner" or charge more.
Inheritance issues. Who gets the condo?

And then there's the raft of Federal benefits that we haven't even touched yet because *none of these marriages are Federally sanctioned* - Social Security, widowers, Medicare, hundreds of tax deductions, any benefit dependent on "family size", HUD and so on.

There's a lot of money in those things. Queers pay taxes equally, but don't get spousal benefits.

...can I heavily tax the proposition process now? That money might fix the economy...
