If we are to accept LGBT into our society then the marriage construct offers them the same protection as husband and wife.
We can debate if we truly want to accept them or not, but legal protection issue is real.

The transgender issue continues to push the boundary further, and I recall your debate about chimps from awhile ago.

Bottom line, I somewhat support the gay marriage because we are where we are and at this point I am willing to draw the line there. But at the same time, I am not really supportive of further extending the line.
This is one of tough issues I actually went back and forth on.

not be able to take money away from the partner or spouse. This would be unfair. Do example, if a couple is living together, by not legally married, and one dies, and a will points to them, the spouse must get it. If there is no will, but the spouse is in some way pointed to, through paying for the house or something simialar, they should get the money or st least a good portion. The state can't take it away nor the country. Overall, ima hasn't gay marriage, but I am for the things I listed which should possibly be implemented if gay marriage is not legal.

So, my judgment is: "In the present conditions, it was a good decision". In the ideal conditions, it would not be, since it would be somewhat of an usurpation of power by the central government - but in the ideal conditions it also would not need to be done in the first place, since every state would recognize the reasonability of legalizing homosexual marriage.
