Gay marriage benefits:

  • Gay/lesbian people.
  • People who are for equality for all.
  • Everyone.

Gay marriages tend to have fewer children. Therefore, overpopulation is slightly slowed by having more gay marriages, benefiting everyone.

Gay people in gay marriages statistically tend to be healthier and happier than single gay people. Married gay people provide less strain on health care systems and are more productive than single gay persons statistically.

Those who benefit the most are same-sex couples who want to get married. When permitted to marry, they will enjoy legal benefits that they would not otherwise be entitled to.

Those who lose the most are religious leaders, since the further away from church doctrine that civil law drifts, the less political influence religious leaders are perceived to have.

For example, when Catholic Archbishop Dolan, despite great effort, was unable to prevent the Marriage Equality Bill from passing in New York State, the public's perception of Dolan's importance and influence on local politics was cut down a notch. Cardinal O'Connor, who held Dolan's seat from 1984 to 2000, was a much more formidable figure politically. Cardinal Eagan (2000 to 2009) perceived as less powerful politically. Dolan's reputation for toughness has taken a hit because of marriage equality.
