"You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow. Say you had a great job with the government where you had this wonderful health plan. I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you’re gay, and y’all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits? I just see so much abuse in this it’s unreal. I believe a husband and a wife should be a man and a woman, the benefits should be for a man and a woman. There is no way that this is about equality. To me, it’s all about a free ride.”
That's right, she's afraid straight people will get married to their same-sex friends just for benefits. In a way, I suppose she is right. People could do that. There should not be any requirement to prove your... gayness in order to get married to someone of the same sex. And people get married for all sorts of reasons. Is she implying that straight people cannot do this now with an opposite sex friend? My guess is that people getting married just for benefits would be just as prevalent as it is now should same-sex marriage become legal on a national level.
They are certainly getting desperate.
