Brumar, before I consider your other points, can you tell me what you mean by a "radical restructuring of the meaning of marriage"?

I always thought that gay people just wanted to be allowed to be married the same way that straight people wanted to be married.

If they go into the hospital they'd like their significant other to be treated like the wife or husband of a straight person.

If they get insurance they'd like to be able to get the same coverage of their significant other as a straight married person would.

If they die they would want their significant other to be treated under the law the same way that the spouse of a straight person would.

Do you think those things would amount to a radical restructuring of marriage?
