Once again I will ask what rights are being violated? Teh tax breaks and insurance coverages are a privelage the govt allows us to have. Just like driving. Driving is not a right. Noone is stopping any gays from being with one another. They just are not going to get the privelages that have been set up for heterosexual couples. While there are hetero couples who do not have kids, no gay couple is capable of reproducing and filling the ranks of our nation with the young. They are capable of adopting, but their kids will be covered by their benefits, so that is a non issue. Its obvious that any type of gay marriage law is going to be overly abused and extorted. There is nothing they gain from being married, except tax breaks and insurance coverage. Since it is shown that the gay lifestyle is more hazardous to your health, it is unfair to ask insurance companies to start covering these people.

Someone stopped African Americans from attending certain "white" schools, until the Supreme Court found cvil rights violations. The same could be said for privately owned cafes and the like. This is the great weakness of your argument. Heterosexual marriage laws are abused and exploited. Heterosexual couples have high rates of STD's, per rates of marital unfaithfulness. I don't see that anything you've said here has much to do with "equal protection under the law," which I would enourage you to read the 14th Amendment anew.
