It doesn't affect me at all. Same sex marriage, like any marriage, only affects the spouses and their families.

Alternate Viewpoint:

Same-sex marriage affects my family's finances, since we currently pay more federal income tax than a heterosexual married couple does. It also affects our retirement planning, since my husband will not be eligible for any social security benefits unless Section 3 of DOMA is overturned. It affects our estate planning, since my husband would have to pay additional taxes on my 401(k) savings if I die before he does. It affects our family stability, since my husband is not a US citizen and has no hope of ever obtaining legal Immigration status in the US unless DOMA is overturned. The US Supreme Court's upcoming ruling on the constitutionality of DOMA will decide whether my husband is deported and whether I will have to leave my native US to live with my husband.
