You are correct, but the quote you took from me was directed at the discussion that gay marriage is immoral and not in the spirit of marriage, not to mention a danger to society, the economy, and the United States.
My quote was just to show that the relationship itself does not change much by marriage, and therefore its influence on aforementioned subjects doesn't change much either.
And yes, the benefits are part of the reason gay marriage is wanted and should be allowed (at least in a legal sense). But for a lot of people it is the recognition that they too are a couple, respected by 'the outside'.
