Bloody hell, of course same sex marriage ought to be legal. That should not even be a serious question.

Should same sex marriage be legal?

It's always been that way, in my experience.
You both go to the courthouse and fill out some papers. The clerk or judge signs one, then gives you a copy. Then you take your copy to church for the wedding. Afterwards the priest or minister signs it, along with a couple of witnesses.
Then both the church and state recognize your marriage. But if you didn't go to some state office, then your marriage isn't legal.
This isn't new.

I am so happy same sex marriage is legal, because I am bisexual, and might fall in love with a woman.

Personally I don't see how marriage should even be a legality in the first place. I don't think laws should interfere with a person's love for another no matter what the preference is.
Legal protections of properties and guardianship of children. There are almost 1,100 legal rights and protections a marriage license conveys that didn’t exist or weren’t necessary in the past.
Properties stayed within, or were common to families, tribes, clans. Children were looked after communally. There was no need for rights-of-survivorship. We ourselves made it necessary by making everything a legal issue.
