Bummer! Single people don't get equal pay for equal work, either, in a great many jobs. I know spousal benefits are not the only reason people argue for same sex marriage, and they're a bad reason to do so. Same sex marriage allows gay couples the same (unfair) benefits that accrue to heterosexual married couples. Whoooopeeee! Is that really progress?
