The main arguement about preventing same-sex marriage is a religious one and htere is supposed to be a seperation of church and state. One of the members of the previously mentioned board had this to say:
Marriage is a mechanism that provides the couple with a number of legal benefits such as the right to make decisions for your partner in a medical emergency, health care benefits, right not to testify against your spouse in court, and many more. As it stands, homosexual couples are clearly not given the same civil rights as heterosexual couples.
I think that sums up a few of the benefits that homosexuals are missing out nevermind just being able to express their love openly.
