As somebody in a gay relationship, I can tell you that certain things are afforded to couples in marriage that aren't afforded otherwise, such as parental custody for both parents for example. Basically without the ability to marry, the government considers your significant other as just some roomate with no interpersonal relationship to you.
I do think gays in commited relationships like yourself should have a backdoor way to get the same legal rights as straight couples, WITH THE EXCEPTION of things dealing with kids and raising a family.
Why the exception there? If somebody's significant other dies, and they have custody of the kid or kids, then they get taken away from their remaining parent because again, they aren't counted as their parent, as they aren't allowed to have custody over their own kids. It's absolutely horrible some of the stories I've heard, where families are broken up and seperated because of this stuff. You might think that 1 mom and 1 dad are the ideal family, but you can't rip other people's kids away for that end. It only harms the people involved, especially the kids.
Gay but against gay marriage? Iin?
