Your argument that it is appeasing a minority at the risk of "upsetting" a majority is flawed in that it sidesteps the issue of whether or not it is morally acceptable to deny benefits to one segment of the population due to circumstances outside of their control. It certainly upset a majority of the population to give minorities the right to vote, that doesn't mean that it wasn't the right thing to do. I'm also curious to know how this issue actually effects you on a day to day basis.

Marriage has very little or even nothing to do with ensuring the continuation of a state. The primary thing needed to ensure this is reproduction. Marriage is not needed for this function at all. Children are raised in many different types of homes.

I think some others summed it up very well, but I must reiterate the point: this is an extremely flawed argument, not only from the perspective of political philosophy (e.g.: how you refer to the well-being of the State), but equally from the perspective of the history of marriage law and custom. Your argument, partially based in social conservatism, is a great attempt at logic; yet, it falls short (mostly, because social conservatism is altogether illogical).

I think you're missing several of the key points of marriage as a state institution, having nothing to do directly with having children. Having a recognized legal partner is of interest to the state in cases of property, possession, debt, medical decisions and inheritance. A spouse can make medical decisions if their husband or wife is incapable of making those decisions, or for inhertitance be the recipient of property or estate upon death, also life insurance benefits.

Or would make good parents. And vice versa. Just 'cause someone is gay doesn't automatically make them immoral, or potentially unfit parents. Morality doesn't discriminate based on sexual orientation. It varies from individual to individual. Therefore, sexual orientation should not be the basis of social discrimination. If you must discriminate, do it 'cause you KNOW the party is deserving of it, not because you THINK everyone in an entire group falls into the same exact catagory.
