whats wrong with gay married couples wanting their adopted kids to be gay

No its not. Its not any more discriminatory than a single person who isnt allowed the tax break. Just because I think that Gay couples should still have to pay 20% like any other normal person instead of getting 15% doesnt make it discriminatory. It would only be discriminating if i said they should have to pay 25% for being gay instead of 20% like any normal people.

 

That is false-equivalency. You are in NO WAY comparing the same kinds of things. You're relating BS.

 

My partner and I have been together for 9 years. If I die tomorrow he'll have to pay an estate tax. That's not discriminatory I guess.

He and I are rising my nephew as my son, but legally in Texas only I could adopt the kid. If I die, my son will be in the custody of my parents, who have made a dedication (as has the rest of my family) that they will begin the adoption process with my partner. He will have to repay the adoption fees. This is not discriminatory?

The list goes on and on...

 

My concerns are not limited strictly to income tax. Is that your only concern? I must have misunderstood your position. If it's just simply a matter of "straight people reproduce", I still don't think it makes much sense to address it in an income tax bracket. There are already child tax credits and other methods that can be employed to directly benefit those who actually have and are raising children. It seems like a really awkward way to accomplish what you're suggesting it's for.

 

Ahhh I think I see where there is some misconception now. I meant entirely that Gay people should be allowed to marry, allowed all custody rights, or any of that stuff equally. I just dont think they should be allowed to file their income taxes in the lower rate brackets. Thats it. So everything equal except that gay couples still have to pay the same taxes as any other normal person.

 

First of all, gay people are normal.

Second of all, why do you think gay married people with children should pay more in taxes? If we're married, we should be treated the sam as married heterosexuals.

 

first of all, exactly your right. Gay people are normal so there shouldnt be a problem when i say they should pay taxes like any other normal person.
Second of all, Gay married couples wouldnt be paying more taxes. They would be paying the same normal rate as any normal person. They should not pay fewer taxes for the reasons i mentioned earlier.

 

If two people are "married"... they should get exactly what all other married couples get.

 

One more time, I'm asking you why a same sex married couple should pay a different tax rate than opposite sex married couples.

 

First...your leading poll questions aren't even well crafted leading poll questions.

Second...I don't know of any posters on this site that would come out in the open and back those answers.

Third...I suspect you're just Doc Dread's sock puppet and the two votes are just you.

 

I also would have voted "no" if I had seen this poll while it was active.

Gay parents should have learned from their own experiences to be accepting of the wishes of the children that they are raising and not just try to form them into their own image.

HOLY THREAD BUMP

a dad who likes to fish hopes his kids will like it as well

parents who love soccer will try and steer kids to that sport

So, it would be expected that a homosexual would encourage their adopted children to live that lifestyle as well.

 

Nope, just to be themselves. I am sure if many were themselves there would be more gays, because many with homosexual inclination live hetero lives simply because it's expected of them.

 

That is kind of ridiculous. Most gay people don't think children can be encouraged to be homosexual.
