in my opinion, yes. The goverment fears those who marry for tax purposes. Think about it, I make $54,000 a year, $7800 of that is deducted for federal taxes, I'm single and I do not have children. So, by February when I file for income tax I may only receive $900 back.

Whereas a married coworker with dependents only have $3300 deducted & their income tax return will be well in the thousands. Single with 3 kids and filing head of household $3100 deducted and she could expect a $10,000+ income tax refund.

So compare that to single childless gays who make $60,000-120,000 a year, that would be a lot of money lost.

Not too mention all the benefits they will be entitled to after marriage. Just one example, the insurance market will drop, because more would be allowed to be on their spouses & not have to purchase their own.

An example of marrying for tax purposes can be seen in the movie "RocknRolla", Thandie Newton's character is a high earning accountant & she is married to a powerful high earning gay lawyer and labels it her "marriage of covenience."

Let's face it everyone has someone in their life who's gay & we still love them the same. The situation is bigger than that, & the goverment fears people will begin to marry for tax purposes & if they do how will it hurt or help the country/economy.
