Comments on: Melissa Etheridge won’t pay taxes because of Prop 8 http://theblemish.com/2008/11/melissa-etheridge-wont-pay-taxes-because-of-prop-8/ Better than a slap to the face Thu, 24 May 2012 21:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: John Bisceglia http://theblemish.com/2008/11/melissa-etheridge-wont-pay-taxes-because-of-prop-8/#comment-57839 John Bisceglia Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:36:31 +0000 http://theblemish.com/?p=23323#comment-57839 More and more of us are WAKING UP, America. No taxation without equality; simple math. Now the feds will need to repeal DOMA and DADT, grant us FULL equal rights (including marriage), and begin to start viewing our families - OUR FAMILIES - as the tax-paying contributing members of society we are.....well.....we USED to be! Because if our HOMES, our FAMILIES, our very BELOVED are not acknowledged and valued as other families are legally, whatever we do outside of that home will never be acknowledged and valued legally, such as adopting children, working without discrimination, or serving openly in the military. FAMILY FIRST. What is more important than FAMILY? We owe the IRS absolutely NOTHING until equal. NOTHING. Get it? This is NOT a test. This is NOT a debate. This is NOT a vote. This is definitely NOT a popularity contest. This IS justice - GAY TAX PROTEST. More and more of us are WAKING UP, America. No taxation without equality; simple math.

Sorry Melissa, you've still gotta pay taxes... The only thing is, Prop 8 isn’t retroactive, meaning, marriages that occurred before it passed won’t be affected.
