We won't discuss that since discussion of religion is against board rules. The only thing that I will say about it is it's just my opinion and what I believe. I do have a problem when you have a candidate running for President trying to pander and buy votes from a select small percentage of the population. Once individuals are legally "married" then they should be able to file their taxes just like any heterosexual couple after they are "married". They (gay couples) should not be allowed to amend their taxes outside the statute of limitations in order to claim a different status under former year's tax law in order to get a benefit and "free money" from the federal government. That's what the bill introduced by Pocahontas specifically states and by definition that is paying "reparations". There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

That's a good red meat motto, but it exposes ignorance of the fact that the government is necessarily involved in every type of loan. If someone fails to pay up, the lender must call on a judge to force them to pay up. This is true of primitive and modern societies. All I'm trying to discuss is the guidelines that the judge should use when he or she is called on.

Marriage shouldn't give anyone any tax breaks.
An antiquated system designed to keep women down. Marriage is awful. A contract with the government about love. Screw that.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, it only applies to years in which they were. No one's being paid for being gay.

I didn't see it mentioned, but white people can be descendants of slaves, too. What do we do for descendants of slaves that aren't black? Or would this be a black-only benefit?

If marriage tax breaks go away so should the biggest one out there that exists but is not officially recognized as such.
Divorce and alimony. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
