Let’s face it, folks, this is NOT about marriage. This is about the burdensome, wholly unfair tax code. This is about getting “benefits” like health insurance for someone living with you. Get a logical tax code in place....you earn a dollar and pay a flat rate on it. Everyone, even married people, should pay the same rate. I’m sick and tired of subsidizing couples with half a dozen kids. I sure as hell am not gonna stand for subsidizing queers. YES, I said QUEER. Now before your jaw drops, two gay guys were in my home a while back for dinner. They know they’re queer and they disagree with this whinning, “GIMME, GIMME!” attitude as well. I rented a house to lesbians BECAUSE they were the best qualified renters. Equal protection for everyone....and that starts with the tax code. There are too many heterosexuals getting married now because of the tax benefits instead of the reason they should have for marriage.

abraxas_sandiego, does trying to demean me make you feel better?? Well, good. And when you get caught in some lawyers web of insanity, you'll change your tune. Unless, of course, you're part of the problem.

yes, apparently i am "part of the problem"...you apparently had some bad legal experiences, and that's too bad. but for the record, i pretty much agree with your last post.

Partially, yes.

But there are other rights as well that these folks want, if you've noticed. Things like inheritance, hospital visitation, etc, that also accrue to married couples. In fact, I hear those rights discussed a helluva lot more by the gay lobby and gay couples than anything having to do with taxation.
