If for some reason it was found out and I got fired, it would bother me, but it would be in my employers right (unless I had a contract saying otherwise). But any smart employer wouldn't do that, unless my dislike of lima beans was distracting alot of other employees or was affecting my work.

And if there was conclusive proof that homosexual couples were as good at raisning kids, I would favor benefits for the couples who have children. My gut instinct says no, but if they are as good as hetero couples at childrearing then they should be commended for adopting a kid who would be otherwise stuck in a forster system, and I would have no problem allowing them all benefits of marriage.
