Give Me One (JUST ONE) Reason.....

Everyone except Boomerang is missing the real point. Boomerang got it right early in this thread. The real opposition to homosexual marriage is that it would cost employers a lot more money to provide medical coverage, insurance, etc. to homosexual married couples. Corporate America uses the religious right to fight their battles for them---as it usually does on a lot of issues that will cost them a lot of money.

Figuring that about 3-5 percent of the population is actively homosexual, and figuring that only a small percentage of that percentage would enter into homosexual unions, and considering that corporate America is rapidly shedding its medical and pension responsibilities for its employees, it is rather doubtful that this is a big issue for employers. The additional costs for covering gay spouses would, in the general scheme of things, be inconsequential.

As a labor negotiator for over 25 years, I can attest that covering homosexuals under employer health plans was a very big issue that was fought vigorously by employers due to the additional costs.
