It was just an assumption that gay people didn't marry. Problem is, society's changed to the point where we understand that gay people exist. We haven't acknowledged their rights yet, for some unknowable reason. Marriage tax breaks exist to encourage people to get married and make families. I agree with this idea to a point; society should encourage families to exist. However, the tax laws ONLY encourage nuclear family living, maybe with some old dependents... I think families should be more encouraged to take care of their elders and have extended families living in, in addition to same-sex marriage rights.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities/mechanics-degree.htm"> Eva</a> Well, the tax breaks, etc. laws were generally implemented when homophobia was much more severe and homosexuality much more quiet in this country.
