"What makes you so certain that the minority is right on this issue ?"
"Well , now this is the question that really matters , and the answer is a long one . But to state it as simply as possible : denying same-sex marriage hurts many people . It forces same-sex couples to pay for the marriage of opposite-sex couples while no one is forced to pay for their marriages . It denies them access to raise children and ability to cover their children and spouses with their medical insurance , along with the many other benefits of marriage . It uses the law to teach the people that the lifestyle and religion held by same-sex couples is wrong , and this forces them to feel the disapproval of society . There is no reason to perpetuate these harms . I have heard many arguments opposed to same-sex marriage , but there is not even one of them that justifies these harms . In fact , I would even say that there is not one argument against same-sex marriage that makes logical sense at all . Thus , even if same-sex marriage brought no benefits , there would be no reason to keep it illegal ; a free and equal society does not deny rights or benefits to anyone , unless it has a very good reason to . And there just is n't any reason to deny rights and benefits to same-sex couples ."
