The divorce courts will be burdened with more cases, costing the taxpayers more money.

You mean like already happens for straight couples? With gays helping foot the bill for something they have no access to?

The purpose of the benefits of marriage were to promote reproduction.

Show us the law where it is manditory for married couples to reproduce. Show us the law where it is manditory for those reproducing to be married.
Hint: Those laws do not exist. Therefore your argument is nothing.

Finally, marriage is a religious ceremony established by the Govt., this would violate the first amendment.

The biggest falsity of all. Marriage can be religious and it can be legal...it can be both. It does not have to be religious to be legal and it does not have to be legal to be religious.
And...many religions already perform gay marriages.
Your argument has more holes in it than lacey swiss cheese.
