the Victorian-era nuclear family as we know it will end, that much is certain. It’s rate of growth, propped up by unearned social status, cannot be sustained. We can no longer afford multi-billion dollar tax benefits that often aren’t even requested by straight couples, and we certainly can’t afford marriage tax bonuses which we funnel money into year after year with no explanation, accountability, or apparent benefit except throwing movement conservatism a bone. i have no intention of throwing Republican values voters, frightened of their own shadows, to the wolves but our ideas about marriage and family must be greatly altered! ///
