Yes. Same-sex couples benefit from the legalization of same-sex marriage by gaining financial security (a kind of safety). I also believe that the legalization of same-sex marriage results in higher visibility of gays and lesbians, as one's marital status is much more relevant than one's sexual orientation. As same-sex married couples go about their personal business regarding banking, housing, insurance, etc., people start to get a more accurate picture of the number of gays and lesbians there are in the community. Even casual social interaction can be an appropriate instance to refer to one's husband or wife, thereby revealing one's sexual orientation. With greater acceptance and visibility comes greater safety. When everyone is secret and hidden, it is easier to target people based on their sexual orientation. Years ago, gay bashers used to rely upon a reluctance of their victims to come forward to the police. That reluctance has greatly waned over recent decades. With better reporting comes more safety.
