"In my opinion it is such a travesty that, a few months ago, Proposition 8, in California, passed. Proposition 2, in Florida, passed. What is that about, everybody? We are taking away a birthright, if you ask me, for people to get the most out of the money that they have spent their lives working. Those people are making money. They pay taxes on the money. Every single one of us deserves to have the same financial benefits whether we are gay or whether we are straight. And therefore, we have got to do everything we can to turn that around. Every single one of us deserves to be loved. Every single one of us deserves to love. And every single one of us deserves to make the most of the money that we have. That’s my Valentine’s Day wish for every single one of us."--Suze Orman
She's another one - when she speaks I listen. Maybe this can be fought and won on a taxpayer issue. Something to think about. If gay folks can't marry then they should be exempted from school taxes and that portion of federal income tax that goes to education. You are in a special don't ask, don't tell category in the military - okay, then you get to opt out of the portion of taxes that supports the military. How much of our local taxes supports the marriage license office. Gone!
