The American Revolution was fought because Americans disliked taxation without representation. Banning same sex marriage effectively makes those individuals who otherwise would marry taxed unfairly and without representation, so in effect those of the right are trying to do to the gay community exactly what England did to the colonies... tax them without representation, since that IS what the IRS effectively does when it denies joint returns, sharing of pensions, and all the other advantages marriage brings. IS that what the 'Right' thinks is right? A pox on them. FTR, I am NOT gay but I believe in equality for all, and that includes the right to marry.
