This is a good list, I've always been wondering what exactly is deprived
from homosexual couples.
The problem is, I don't believe that government should have a role in
marriage anyway, and the public should not subsidize marriage. Most of the
benefits you listed should not exist in the first place, even for
heterosexual couple.
Especially for issues involving money. If the public for some weird logic
thinks that couples should be rewarded monetary benefits, so be it, but it's

如本文一开始所说，反同人士的滑坡论证包含两个前提：大前提建立同性婚姻（或更一
般的同性恋关系）与某种性关系模式S之间关于道德性质的滑坡类比，小前提则从道德
上拒绝S；两者结合，得到对同性婚姻（或同性恋）的道德否定。当S是人兽婚、奸尸、
恋童等关系模式时，只要根据『同意』原则，即可否定大前提（同时肯定小前提），推
翻滑坡论证。但如果S是多偶制或乱伦时，情况就比较复杂。在多偶制或乱伦关系中，
当事人均可以是能够担负完全民事责任的道德行为体，具有『自由和完全地同意』进入
某种自愿的、非胁迫的性或婚姻关系的能力。因此仅从『同意』原则出发，似不足以从
道德上区分同性之间的性关系，与多偶制或乱伦关系。
在这种情况下，同性恋权益的支持者大致而言有两种选择。一是坚持认为『同意』原则
是在道德上衡量性与婚姻关系的唯一标准，因此接受滑坡论证的大前提，但同时否定小
