In America, where we have freedom of religion, should the church have any say

defenitly not!

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

Can't think of any reason why not...

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.

That's just wrong. :/
