Screwed over again by the heterosexual mafia
So I don't qualify for the Tax Rebate (income just over limit). My partner will. If we were able to marry, together we would qualify for the full rebate.

Another example of the terrorists of the straight mafia screwing over hard-working American citizens. Fucking tired of it.

On top of that, dreading looking at my taxes, because as usual, we will pay about $4,000 more filing individually than if we could file jointly.

1. ANY DU'er that doesn't support immediate, full marriage equality
Contact me, so I can send you my address - you can support your bigotry by sending me money to make up what your hatred is costing me.

8. Do you support immediate and full marriage equality?
In the primary (Arizona), I almost didn't vote, but choice what I feel was the slightly better of the two candidates, Hillary.

9. I do support it
But is it political suicide for other progressive causes to try to force such marriage on people?
Sadly, the issue has become a rallying cry for the freaks on the right.

11. It's a rallying cry for the freaks on the right, of course...

...who tend to pull out the word "force" quite early in discussion of the matter.

Usually, it's "forcing down the throat," a revelatory phrasing, indeed.

2. Why feel bad?
Any amount you woulda got is was going to be taken from next years refund.

It's all a big joke.

5. That is the only part that makes it palitable
But the mere fact that the government is NOT treating my partner and I equally, and is thus denying me the opportunity to CHOOSE what to do with that money is a slap in the face.

3. Thanks for pointing that out
Gays are not getting equal protection under the law and should not have to pay any taxes because of that. I'd like to modify your subject line: the ignorant trash religious zealot hate in their hearts mafia.
