I'd like to hear your opinions on gay marriage/Domestic Partnerships.
In America, where we have freedom of religion, should the church have any say
in what constitutes a marriage?
Should those in gay marriages/domestic partnerships be allowed the same rights
as married couples to claim their partner as a dependent for tax filing
purposes?
I have been with my partner for more than 18 years. Over the last year, he has
been physically unable to work. I have not only supported him, but paid for
his medical coverage, doctors and medicine. I have housed, fed and clothed
him. Yet, as he is not related to me, I am unable to claim him as a dependent
nor can I claim the thousands of dollars I have spent on his medical care as a
deduction.
