They don't have to get married to receive this; a simple living will would accomplish the same thing.

In order to marry, you would require from gay couples that they can reproduce, yet we do not require heterosexual marriages to produce children or even be able to. If we had, I could've seen your point, but we don't - and I don't feel like society should redefine marriage to require reproduction.

Indeed, as I acknowledged the current system isn't perfect. However, without requiring invasive (and expensive) fertility tests, and somehow magically determining whether or not a couple plans to reproduce, it is the best we can do.
