actually, the rates are about 50% of marriages end, which means you have a 50/50 chance that it will not end. good odds.
Gays want marriage because hospitals, governments, etc will not recognize their right to care for, decide medical issues, or participate in their health insurance etc of their partner.
countless homosexual partners are banned from visiting their dying partner, because they are not next of kin, or legal spouse.
they have no power in the "legal" world, especially seeing as how being gay was straight up illegal, and still is in many places.
Marriage confers certain rights as to adoption, inheritance, etc, shit that straight people take for granted.
