I can see the financial benefits being a legitimate cause for concern, however. BUT, as the article mentions, adoption can easily serve as a means to propagate society.

The article doesn't say that, and it's obviously untrue. Adoption is not a means of propagation.

The abolition of slavery did little to save or raise money for the states...but somehow we accomplished that one. Ensuring equal rights for all shouldn't come down to whether or not it's economical.

Of course, the overarching point in posting this article was yet again to prove that there are coherent, secular arguments against gay marriage which have no basis in religion.
