A while ago, I was participating in a thread about same sex marriage. There was a statement made that gays and lesbians already have most of the benefits so why should they be allowed to marry. Well, I finally came across this:
Here is a Government Accounting Office document detailing the 1138 statutory rights and privileges denied to lesbians and gays because same sex marriage is federally banned by DOMA.

I provide it just for reference if anyone needs it for a similar argument.
