So what you are saying is that all hetros should claim to be gay so that they can get a bonus.. Genius..

Even then (if i read the article correctly) it is still unfair as they are using the average figure. So if one bunch of homosexuals would only be taxed £500 then they are essentially getting a $500 pay raise for being gay, others at the other end of the scale (assuming a tax of $1500) are $1000 better off but are still being taxed $500. So they are still being wronged.

I am in the UK not the US.

I live with my partner and have done for the last 5years but we have no intention of getting married.

Even to do it cheaply is over £200, I'd rather spend that money on our child or perhaps put it towards a holiday.

I believe that we quailfy under UK law as a Common Law Couple, though tbh I am not really sure I benifit, I think it just makes it easier for her to get 50% if we split.

I was pointing out the "fair" thing to do would be for google to lobby the government for a change in the law to allow gay marriage or what ever it is they don't do. Not to just pay them extra cash for being gay because all that does, is highlight / enforce the view, that they are different and should be treated differently.
