I am not saying I agree with the program, but it sounds like it costs to be gay everywhere, but Cambridge

"The city employees hit by the extra tax pay an additional $1,500 to $3,000 in taxes a year"

Not sure the city paying for it is the solution, but good luck getting the right wing wackos in DC to agree to make the federal tax equitable and allow married gay people to have the marriage benefit in their federal taxes.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I have no problem with it either. It's not like they're punishing the straights that live/and or work in Cambridge.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

IBM announced recently that they are going to require gays in states that allow gay marriage 6 or 9 months to get married otherwise the signif. other will lose coverage. I think they'll still have the issue of the fed. tax code.

So, are you saying you don't understand the credit...or...agree that gay people shouldn't have the same rights as straight for insurance?

WTF seems to imply a degree of bewilderment.
