In point of fact, yes, the reason for getting married is to get those legal and contractual benefits. You don't get married because that gives you access to love one another. You can love people without being married. Marriage is about legal recognition, in the form of benefits. What else is it NOT possible to have without legal marriage? Not love, not children, not happiness, not social acceptance (although that will always vary from person to person regardless of the type of relationship). The only things that are always off limits unless you get legally married are a few legal benefits.

Therefore, the denying of marriage to homosexuals is purely and simply a denying of legal benefits.

Yeah going to have to say, you sound like, come off as, and generally are just another pseudo-intellectual. It obvious you are trying to sound overly intelligent, which given your posts so far I'd wager you are not in the slightest.
