Re: First gay couple legally married in Iowa
Tax money to "pay" for homosexuals to get married? Screw that. In fact, screw tax incentives for marriage of any sort.
I'm single and I have no children that I'm aware of. I find it just as irritating that my tax dollars pay for heterosexual couples to get married and have children (in the form of tax breaks for people who make that choice) as I would for homosexual couples. The "sanctity" of marriage is a load of crap - it's an institution based on property and inheritance rights and is thus more of a business contract than anything "sacred". And, even in its comparatively modern incarnation in the US (social engineering and ostensibly love), there's nothing "sacred" about an institution where you can tie one on and marry a stranger.
Let homosexuals get married if they want. I don't care what you call it - just stop giving it tax considerations, regardless of the gender of the parties entering the contract.
