Gay money
With all of this debate about marriage equality in the US, something that has been in fact a reality in Europe for well over a decade in most places, one cannot help but ask, Why is that country taking so long? Isn't there -or at least should be- a clear separation from conservative/religious parties and the government?
Around 8 years ago, marriage equality was voted, passed and approved by a vast majority in Spain, and when the new -conservative party- took over, many feared of what would happen to something that was regarded as a social progress; and yes, the bill got appealed, got taken to the high court and after a while of deliberation, they came to the conclusion we all expected, marriage is a human right, a right that should be given to all citizens.
If the american government -as a whole and those against marriage equality- continues to negate a good number of their citizens one of their fundamental rights, regardless of their sexual orientation, then a new bill should be passed where gay citizens should be exempt from a certain percentage of taxes, as we are not regarded as equals, why then should we be considered equals when it's about our money?
Gay money seems to be as green and as valid as regular money, and what's best, no one can tell the difference between them, not even those who still claim homosexuality is wrong and perverse -which is the center of the whole example-; governments, companies, individuals, churches, they all accept the same currency, regardless of its origin.
If we are not regarded as equals and given our fundamental citizens rights, then it's time to ask to turn things around and make a clear distinction between the "types" of citizens a country has, if rights are taken away from us, so should our taxes.
Just my two cents
