This issue is a tempest in a teapot simply because government has given favorable tax & insurance benefits to 'traditional' married couples. The solution is equally simple. End the favoritism.

I think you have that backwards. What favorable tax and insurance benefits do they get that are not available to homosexuals who happen to be a "couple?"

Ask them.. I don't pay to much attention to the details of what the queers rant on about.
Nor do I pay much attention to the details of the proposed "Marriage Amendment"..
The whole concept is a Constitutional joke. -- A political idiocy that will backfire on the Republican Party.

Tax Reduction for Homosexuals Denied Rights and Benefits by Government Petition
Address:http://www.petitiononline.com/LGTaxes/petition.html Changed:3:16 PM on Tuesday, March 23, 2004
--- So tell me cam, now that we've established that the Marriage Amendment is a bad political joke, & that the issue is best resolved by altering tax codes, --- do you still think Keyes is wise to support it?
The petition is a joke, not the amendment. The first wherefore speaks of a generality that it does not back up. It's main gripe is that they have to spend resources to get the contractual benefits they seek. Boo hoo.
