I was never against it, but 'way back I wondered why gays & lesbians really needed the right. My daughter-in-law provided one good explanation: Gay couples had already been able to adopt children for some time, here. However, if the couple is not married and one gay adoptive parent dies, the other loses custody of the adopted child(ren). In that case, the child(ren) automatically become(s) wards of the State. Not a good situation.
Legality of gay marriage ends that problem, 100%. I can think of other reasons "for," but none against. I'm for it. Helps many and in no way hurts me.

Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
