Furthermore, I'm a "soft" opponent of gay marriage- I do not want to see gay marriage forced upon us by the courts, but I think states should be allowed to decide the issue for themselves (so long as other states can opt to ignore gay marriages from states that do allow it).

How do you propose that these gays that are married file their federal taxes?

Do they get the married tax rates?

It seems that these issues are always more complicated when looked at in depth. The libs also always seem to go for the money.

Is it okay for a state to determine the status of gays (married or not) and send the bill to Washington for all to pay?

Up until recently, they would have been better off filing as two single people, rather than filing as a married couple. If the federal government doesn't recognize gay marriage, then gays are no worse off tax wise.

I'm not sure what kind of bill there would be.
