I'm going to behave because I pay that marital tax penalty, some years through the nose.  Subsidizes?  There are subsidies?  I'm getting pretty sick of the term "sanctity of marriage", too.  My stance has nothing to do with sanctity or subsidy.  Gay marriage is a legal misnomer like a men's room for women.  It's a perversion.  Marriage is the legal union of a man and a woman.  Period.  It's not that tough to get your mind around it.  How could it then be stretched or altered to include two men, or two women.  It doesn't work like that.  And, if it does, and it's a malleable legal term, why stop at two people?  Why stop at people?  If we're ready to change it, let's throw the term out altogether.  They're no longer married .  .  . they're just THEM.  There, now doesn't everyone feel better?  Is Autzen looking upset?
