NYT Article on Marriage Rights with a Young Couple
This article was just fascinating. It features two young gay men aged 25, who recently were married in Boston. Joshua and Benjamin are husbands. That was fun to type… husbands not just hugsbands they would be if they were only allowed Civil Marriage.
The New York Times did an elaborate piece on the young couple. It also talked about how MTV did a show on a set of male and female couples from Massachusetts. Good Stuff. Read more about it here.
When most of us just paid our high tax bills we looked around and wondered if we get anything out of our payments to the government. Gay Marriage is a start to getting the benefits in life we deserve and the love that the straights can cherish.
Just curious – would there actually be tax benefits if gay marriage emerged in the US? I don’t know much about tax law, but I was just reading a book on sexuality and the law and one of the essays explained that in the UK, the Civil Partnership is economically harming gays and lesbians who choose to register (as does marriage for straight couples with two partners who work). Any idea if this is just a difference in tax codes or whether the same would apply in the US?
