These include everything from hospital visitation rights to spousal insurance. I know a lovely lesbian couple in their 80s who have been together for 35 years. I would like to have one good reason why they shouldn't have all the rights association with marriage.

Just go on welfare and be done with it because not once have you stated that gays want to get married because they love their partner, you are only concerned with extra benefits that a real married couple receives. It is because of people like you that most people can't stand gays and their entitlement propaganda.
