I always thought the list of reasons why gay marriage would ruin society was great:

Great list, Mookie.

Mike, no one is suggesting expanding marriage to same sex couples will fix anything.
If Bob and Bill or Sue and Jan move in together and say they are married, it won't throw the world into crisis. And married gays will not cause straight people to take marriage any less seriously, they already have made a mockery of it. I could see some weight to this arguement if straight people married and kept their vows... but 50% or more do not.
Seriously, straight people use marriage for political and economic motives too.
