The county's program will not change the U.S. tax code or state law and same-sex couples must file taxes singly.

The very least they could do is whack the homos with the same tax rates that married people must pay. Talk about picking and choosing!

If they can't screw and have kids they are doing nothing more then sticking their sex tools in dark holes with out purpose.

The first thing that should be asked before any of those perverts get priviledges IS

ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE CHILDREN AND FURTHER THE HUMAN RACE OR ARE YOU GOING STICK YOUR SEX TOOLS IN DIRTY HOLES THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE HUMAN RACE AS TIME GOES ON.

< GEES AMERICA WAKE UP! YOU ARE MORE DISGUSTING AS TIME GOES ON!

Thanks for this catch, Rollee! This is the kind of thing we need to stop. They tend to be state and local issues more often than national issues.

I can tell the difference between the two situations and I hope you find the wisdom to do the same.

I HAVE NO TIME FOR AN APPLES AND ORANGES DICUSSION.

Call these people and tell them you don't want Cook County inflicted with the unfair burden of this ficticious special rights for homosexuals.  Want to know your Commissioner?  See the map, linked below.

Good grief! Never thought Chicago would go the way of Boston and Philadelphia.

My commissioner is Elizabeth Doody Gorman. Next time I see her I am going to ask her about this issue.

My husband and I are having trouble, too -- that's why I asked:-) I like to think procreation isn't the only aspect of a healthy marriage.

It's been creeping further and further to the left for a long time now. Chicago's mayor is that demented gun grabbing airport ripping nut king richie the 2nd aka Daley. And Chicago is home to the repulsive jan schakowsky (shudder). Then there is the nasty little rat rahm emmanual. The sheeple keep voting these lunatics in, and now look what's happening. A beautiful city is being destroyed.
