Gay Marriage
Gay marriage has always been a very debatable topic. Not so long ago gay marriage was legally passed. In order for gay marriage to be treated , Washington decided same sex couples who are legally married will be treated as married for federal tax purposes. This statement was barely announced by the treasury department and the internal revenue service on August 29. This was all brought up because in June the Supreme Court's decision was to overturn the defense of marriage act which prevented the federal government from recognizing same sex marriages for purposes such as insurance benefits and tax filings. However this new change helps same sex couples to move freely throughout the country knowing that their federal filing status will not change. It also help gay marriage couples to access to benefits and protections under federal tax law that all Americans deserve. This whole new arrangement will help many same sex couples be free and make them share the same benefits that the other American marriages have. Right now , 13 states including California and the district of Columbia have recognized same sex marriage. This is a great progress and relief for married same sex couples all over America.
