I think the real issue is whether or not gay marriage would be an extra financial burden for the public. [...] Because of the fact that citizens of the US are already overtaxed to the point of slavery however, I would be against anything that adds to the financial abuse that we suffer.
So, if evangelicals managed to convince millions of unmarried opposite sex couples to marry, you'd be against it? After all, such an event would initiate tax credits that would decrease tax revenue and increase tax burden.

I think civil unions might be a "decent" compromise.(no pun intended).Financial provisions can be provided for by the 2 partners privately.
Have you actually investigated these so-called private provisions? My same sex household of almost 11 years duration will be paying $14,100 more in insurance premiums and taxes than a heterosexual married couple with no children under otherwise identical conditions.
