Gay Marriage Solution

Dear Christians & Republicans,

I have a plan. We don't have to negotiate on the gay marriage thing. In fact, I'm willing to drop the whole thing entirely. I mean, let's face it, marriage in terms of the law is sort of lame anyways. I won't feel the least bit slighted and you can forget we even asked for that civil liberty in the first place. You won't have to waste all of that time and money on elections and the wars that come along with your homophobia. You could even put those billions of dollars into a useful cause like universal healthcare or your children's education.

All of this will come to you under one condition: you give us a nice little tax break in exchange.

It doesn't have to be called a 'marriage' tax break, just a deduction for not being allowed to do the same things as other citizens of this country. I mean, why is it that we have to pay taxes in a country that doesn't give us the same rights as other citizens? So if you're allowed a deduction for breeding, or whatever it is that married couples do, then we should be allowed one for being queer. Let's face it, a tax deduction won't ruin the sanctity of marriage and now you can focus more on that pesky divorce rate.

Sincerely Yours,

Jen-
