Dude, you're missing the point here. The gay folks involved in the gay marriage movement in Massachusetts don't want to step on others or rebel against the status quo. They just want to be allowed to marry, which would give them the same rights as married couples. See, without those rights, things like inheritance, hospital visitation rights, and taxes become a huge pain.
As for the rest of us, the society benefits because, if the gay marriage thing holds, then it weakens the hold that the church has over the state. And trust me, we want the church to have less power.
