My hangup is over "equal protection under law"...when there'd be nothing "equal" about it.

Why should gay couples be granted the right to file joint tax returns when any other two people living under the same roof (sibling/sibling, parent/sibling, or roommate/roommate) NOT be allowed ??

This isn't "equal protection" in my eyes, rather it's "special treatment". A gay couple should be treated no different than two roommates. Why should the fact the two have sex make a difference in allowing them a path to a legal tax advantage ?
