All I can say is IT’S ABOUT FREAKIN TIME!  I think that all gay and lesbian couples who have entered into a civil union should sue their state and federal governments for recognition of their unions! It isn’t right that we have to file as a single person and be taxed higher just because we are gay!

I think that if more gay couples started to sue their state governments than more states would recognize and offer the same tax benefits to gay and lesbian couples. I’m all for suing uncle sam on the state and federal level. Why should I have to pay more taxes just because I happen to be in a committed relationship with another woman. If Uncle Sam can’t or won’t recognize my union I don’t think I should have to recognize my obligation to pay taxes.

If all gays and lesbians banded together in regards to this I think we would get much further. Our tax money is a big part of the state and federal government budgets. If we all said give us the same rights or you can’t have our taxes think of what a powerful statement that would be. We could have our own little Boston Tea Party! I’m not saying it would be easy but I think it is a fight worth fighting for.
