Actually, they have the same exact rights as do heterosexuals. Hence why the laws are about marriage of people
of the same sex; sexual orientation has nothing to do with it. Two straight men can not marry one another; two gay men may not marry one another; yet, a gay man could marry a gay woman, etc, etc.

Why don't I argue about love, morality, or the meaning of marriage of relationships? Because love is not something conferred on a relationship by a state; nor does state recognition make a marriage moral; nor does it give a marriage meaning.
However, the state currently does confer economic benefits on married couples. Hence, I argue economics.
