Reply #7: AND a major reason why gay marriage is so loathed by congress

[SoCalDem]

Some "claim" it's for "morality" issues, but it's plain ole dollars & cents. As long as gay people have to remain single, when they die, there is no "spouse" to lay claim to their SS...and until very recently, gay people usually did not have children to claim any of it . As the government recognizes gay people as equals and makes them "full citizens, there is a price to pay for that...from SS.

Our government has been quite content to have a relatively stable percentage of the population remain single...payers-in....but not takers-out..

Follow the money.
