BOSTON (AP) - Mary Ritchie, a Massachusetts State Police trooper, has been married for almost five years and has two children. But when she files her federal income tax return, she's not allowed to check the "married filing jointly" box.

Her “wife’s” name is Kathleen BUSH?
Oh please.
Oh boo hoo, I guess all the government grants and special treatment are not enough. Go to Iran and see how they handle this....
Yep - was only a matter of time. All the deniers (Like John McCain) of the need for a FEDERAL marriage amendment need to sit up and pay attention. This is EXACTLY what we warned them about.
Too damn bad that sexual depravity is not legally equated with marriage.
A bunch of selfish entitlement babies want to steal government benefits. They call this a “right”. What slime.
> Gee, didn’t see that one coming. Another Mitt legacy in action...
Look, I’m *NOT* a Mitt-bot, and I don’t live in Massachusetts.
But even *I* know that Mitt had *NOTHING AT ALL TO DO* with the “Gay Marriage” in Massachusetts.
It was the result of a court decision made by a Leftist Judge appointed by a governor who *PRECEDED* Romney.
Romney was as disgusted as anybody by this development and said as much in his press conferences when he was governor.
And where does everyone think the Supremes will come down on this one?
Well, that’s the Romney version anyway.
5-4 legalizing gay marriage.
All they ever wanted was to be left alone, free from persecution, to live their lives in tranquility.
What’s wrong with gay dudes and dudettes getting equal protection under law. They should not even be fighting for it, they are entitled to it under the US constitution.
A bunch of selfish entitlement babies want to steal government benefits. They call this a “right”. What slime.
Since when is paying taxes a right??? I want that right taken away today.
Like all fully-bloomed socialists hellholes, paying taxes will soon be the only right we have left. That and praising big brother.
As the court stands now, I’m going to vote that they’ll go against gay marriage.
Of all your intelligent posts I have read from you, I hope this one does NOT come true.
If you are trying to help pissant understand, don't bother.
> Well, that’s the Romney version anyway.
You don’t know what you are talking about!!
I live in New Hampshire.
It was ALL OVER the LOCAL NEWS the day the degenerate Leftist judge handed down the decision in answer to a *LAWSUIT*!!!!!!!
The Massachusetts News ( see http://www.massnews.com/ ), which is ON OUR SIDE, reported that the stinking Leftist judge that handed down the decision is married to some big shot editor at the New York Times.
If you say that Romney signed a Gay Marriage Act into law, you had better produce the references!
Just because you despise a person, YOU MUST NOT LIE ABOUT HIM!
It only makes you, and by extension *ALL* conservatives, look like the lying FILTH on the Left!
“All they ever wanted was to be left alone, free from persecution, to live their lives in tranquility.”
and take our money.
