Protest on Thursday, April 15th SEE THE END OF THIS MESSAGE TO FIND INFO ABOUT THE PROTEST NEAREST YOU!
Stand up and send a clear message for equal rights: No Taxation With Discrimination!!
We are protesting on Tax Day because the government takes our tax money but then refuses to treat us as equals before the law. It is an insult that politicians of either party could think its perfectly fine to take tax money from their Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered constituents and then not treat us equally. The central issue is equality or discrimination. Taking our tax money just pours salt on the wound of discrimination.
We are protesting at post offices around the country to highlight the extra pain we feel on tax day when the federal government forces many of us in committed relationships to enter into a legal fiction of being single - when we are actually couples, many in long-term relationships. We demand equal respect for our relationships, and are angry that the government which taxes us refuses to grant us the marriage rights that others take for granted.
Our families are treated differently under the law, when in reality we have many of the same responsibilities, but without any of the legal obligations or benefits. According to the US Census data, 33% of gay male couples and 42% of lesbian couples are raising children compared with 51% of straight couples raising children. We all love our children and want to protect them just the same as any family would -- yet the government refuses our children and our families the same legal protections and tax advantages provided children of straight couples and that is wrong. Older same-sex couples are denied Social Security survivor's benefits if one partner dies. The surviving partner is also denied automatic inheritance rights, potentially leaving him or her penniless.
We demand nothing less than full and equal marriage rights. Some have suggested that we settle for "civil unions" or "domestic partnerships," but both of these measures fall far short of full equality. It is absurd in principle to attempt to erect a "separate but equal" marriage-like institution and segregate gays into it. Few would seriously suggest that women, or any racial or religious minority accept less than full legal equality; it is insulting that some think that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered people would or should settle for anything less. As a practical matter, given that thousands of federal and state laws use the word "marriage" to confer rights and responsibilities to couples, it would be a Herculean task to retrofit those thousands of laws to accommodate a "separate but equal" institution for gays, rather than simply grant equal access to the institution of marriage.
Please join the Tax Day protest nearest you and send a clear message to the politicians of both parties: No Taxation With Discrimination!
Book Alert: Fantastic reading on the subject of same gender marriage!
This week a new book WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE A DAMN ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE by Davina Kotulski, Ph.D., has been released that will help carry the message even further. Why You Should Give a Damn About Gay Marriage is a timely book that will help people understand the 1,138 federal ways and the hundreds of state ways that same-sex couples are relegated to a second-class citizenship. The book will open your eyes to the myriad of injustices that same-sex couples face like being denied the right to visit our partners in the hospital outside of California, even if we are registered California domestic partners, the extra fees we pay for our car insurance, rental cars, homeowners and health insurance. But, it is not just for California, but deals with federal rights. It will anger you when you see how much money a same-sex survivor is denied by the Social Security Administration no matter how long they were partnered, but a newlywed of only one year and even a heterosexual divorced spouse can lay claim to these thousands of dollars. After going to the www.ssa.gov to find out how much your partner will be denied, you will be propelled to action and you will be qualified after reading this book to speak eloquently on the 1400+ rights and protections we are denied.
Outlook 12/12/03 writes "Kotulski's Why You Should Give a Damn About Gay Marriage, from Advocate Books, presents a staggeringly succinct argument that will open the eyes of even the staunchest foe of gay marriage."
Yes, the book addresses the 1,138 federal rights that come with marriage.
The book is available on-line at www.alyson.com,www.amazon.com, and your local bookstore. We here at dontamend.com think this book is a great tool for activists, organizers, and all people who believe in full civil rights for our community.

It takes me back to the Allstocks home page. Yesterday I tried to post a reply and kept getting server out of memory notify your administrator messages. I rebooted and it went trough so I blamed it on my system. But now I'm thinking that something is up. I also noticed that sometimes when you click on a thread, it doesn't show the updated replies until you hit back and try again.
