Who do you think as a whole respect or care for marriage more, straight or Gay people?

Who values marriage more out of Gays or straight people? From what I gathered from a past question is that many straight people view cohabitation as equal or superior to getting married, almost as if when one gets married they have a ball and chain attached to their leg or all freedom and fun dies. Many of the reason stated (online and in the real world) was:

• Cheaper, no wedding or ceremony.
• No paper work.
• No official commitment keeping you from bolting if you want to flee a rocky relationship if you don’t want to work at repairing it.
• A useless display to show or prove the love you already know in your heart.
• Less chance getting screwed over if or when the union fails.

Those were some of the main arguments many people gave or cam up with as to avoid the actual official union of marriage and go for like married but not. Yet Gays are fighting tooth and nail, trench by trench for the right to marry. Those who believe marriage is the “unnecessary show for love which you know is in your heart” what would you think they would tell Gays about fighting for “just a ring and a piece of paper” why go through all that fighting for the word “marriage”? And no, this isn’t about Gay marriage it is about people who have the right to marry who take it for granted at best or see it as a nuisance at worse. Do Gays see something in marriage that many straight people seem to be clueless of, and that is why they fight so hard to have what others have but could care less they have it?
