This isn't exactly the thread for it but it doesn't really warrant its own:
So, yeah, we're all familiar with DOMA, right? the law that says the federal gov can't recognize same-sex relationships? Well, there's a growing number of insurance companies who provide benefits to same-sex spouses or partners, just like they do to all other spouses. Cool, right? Well, under DOMA, if your partner's employer-based health insurance covers you too, you have to pay taxes on it as taxable income, unlike between straight partners covered under a single plan.
Hooray for the homo-tax!
