We've seen a bunch mentioned in this thread already: insurance and tax breaks are some of the secular parts of marriage. Then you've got to deal with members of the religious community who have objections to that particular union. They thought they has issues with Adam and Steve getting married, but that was before they ran into Cynthia and Seabiscuit.
Those are just a few, but you bring a good point: not that many adults understand the ramifications of getting married. If grown men and women are having trouble wrapping their brains around this stuff, what chance do our kids and pets stand?
Edit:
And while I'm asking questions, I have one for those of you who believe gay marriage is on a slippery slope leading down towards bestiality, pedophilia, marrying your VCR, etc: how do you envision those acts gaining the same level of support that is currently enjoyed by gay marriage (that is, where enough people are in favor of legalizing it that it is a subject of significant debate)?
