Well, marriage carries a whole host of rights with it. For a friend of mine, it was “If you’re gay, you can’t claim your partner’s possessions after he’s killed in a car crash and you can’t be directly informed of what happened but have to ask the funeral director.”

A lot of states have no protection for being fired for sexual orientation. Most of them, I believe, you can be fired for being gay.
