That is now a minority view, and luckily we live in a democracy. It's only a matter of time.

Can you cite sources that say gays and lesbians are more risky? And some of those married couples will be able to get on their spouses plans that are paid for.

But plenty of people will be able to be put on their spouses paid for insurance. It also seems like you're advocating no marriage, because straight couples would have the same effect.
I was referring to your claim about risky behavior. Men are more risky than women, maybe men should not be allowed to marry?
And the church doesn't own marriage, just as Jews don't own circumcision.

There is no valid argument against gay marriage, only religious doctrine, and since this is a secular nation and you can't write your religion into laws, it shouldn't ever be an issue.
