Gay taxpayers pay the same State and Federal taxes as a single heterosexual taxpayer, but we do not have the same rights or get the same benefits. Since we are not allowed to marry, we should get a Federal tax credit and a State tax credit in each State which does not allow us to marry. Where we cannot adopt, we should get a State tax credit. Since we cannot serve our country in the military, we should get a Federal tax credit. I'm sure we can all think of other examples. If gay American taxpayers don't have the same rights and benefits as heterosexuals, we should not be required to pay the same taxes. Once we receive equality under the law, we should also have equality under the tax code.
