"Heck what about the high-profile quasi marriages like Ellen Degeneress or Melissa Ethridge, they fake got married and are already split up."

See, you make my point.

If Ellen's or Melissa's marriages had been recognized by the state as being "just as good" as any straight person's marriage, then I'm sure neither marriage would have broken up.

It is because straights have denied us gay folks -- for so long -- the recognition and validity of our deeply committed relationships that you see things like the break-up of Ellen and Melissa's marriages. But come that glorious day when, throughout the land, gay people can at last get married --- just like straight people do -- why, then, we gay people will at last know that straight people recognize us and the validity of our relationships. And, with that recognition and acceptance, gay people will finally be complete.

And, with that complete-ness, there will never be any divorce.
