None of you have to even see each other...you'll just enjoy the monetary benefits.
Valkyrie why do you want to get married? It's not about money obviously. You said it's because it's something nice to do...it's nice to have a piece of paper? Is it fitting in with the norm? I guess I don't understand that.
Marriage is an institution of family - plain and simple. To be fair I strongly believe in shutting down all the Vegas chapels that "cater" in marriage. I don't find the logic in couples getting married who don't even want children. So it's not just a gay vs. straight issue.
The only time I've felt scared of being around gays was in a gay bar in roscoe and only because I didn't know it was a gay bar and couldn't figure out why everyone was a guy and so many of them had their shirts off. Religiously I find it wrong and immoral to have it within my community but that is my belief and, whether or not you like it, you should respect that opinion.
