I supported gay marriage for one reason alone - gays pay taxes and should be entitled to the same government benefits of marriage as every other tax payer.
We give tax breaks to traditional marriages because traditional nuclear families are a net benefit to the country and their communities. Gay and non-traditional marriages are not. Why would we subsidize something that doesn't benefit our country?

How do you define benefit? Gay marriage couples have incredibly low rates of poverty and crime compared to the general population. They also pay more in taxes than general population.
And this all assumes that using the tax code to encourage/discourage behavior is a legitimate function of government.
