Yesterday, it was announced that the U.S. Department of Treasury's decided to recognize gay married couples for tax purposes regardless of the state laws regarding marriage in which they reside.
Prompted by the recent SCOTUS ruling on DOMA, this new policy will
provide tax filing uniformity for all legally married same-sex couples
nationwide.
As if on cue, National Organization for Marriage president Brian Brown issued a statement denouncing the change in policy, claiming it is yet another government attempt to force gay marriage on an "unwilling public."
"The Treasury Department is grossly
overstepping its authority," said Brown. "This is a nation of laws. Only
Congress has the authority to change the law....[the] Obama
administration is intent on forcing same-sex 'marriage' on an unwilling
public."
Yawn.
