Tax Code Must Reward Marriage, Not Give Incentives for Unnatural Homosexual Behavior, IFI Director Says

GLEN ELLYN, Ill., April 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Homosexual activists claim that the U.S. tax code "discriminates" against "gay" couples, but Illinois Family Institute Executive Director Peter LaBarbera said society has no interest in rewarding aberrant relationships. He said the real problem with the tax code is that it "doesn't go far enough to reward normal married couples."
"The United States government and its taxing policies serves the greatest good of the nation by upholding normal marriages and traditional families-the bedrock foundation of any great culture," LaBarbera said. "We must never allow the government to financially reward unhealthy, aberrant homosexual relationships."
"Research shows that homosexual men have a shorter life expectancy than heterosexual men," LaBarbera said. "This and the prevalence of sexually transmitted disease among homosexuals are proof of the lifestyle's unhealthy and dangerous consequences."
IFI Senior Policy Analyst Dave Smith agreed, saying, "The government must recognize the fact that children raised in a traditional mom-and dad family do the very best. The government has an obligation to encourage this stable environment for children.
"If we move down the road to legalizing 'marriage' for unnatural homosexual couples, it will lead to an explosion of intentionally motherless or fatherless households," Smith said. "That is a radical social experiment that will place children in harm's way, and one we can not afford to engage in as a society."
Illinois Family Institute urges Congress to enact stronger provisions in the tax code to encourage traditional marriage and give economic incentives for couples to get married and have children.
"We should free the heavy burden on married men and women dedicated to raising well adjusted families," LaBarbera said. "Congress should not enact tax incentives for homosexual couples any more than for polygamists, 'swingers,' or other abnormal relationships."
While gay activists are pushing hard to redefine normal marriage-between one man and one woman-Illinois Family Institute will continue to work hard to make sure this fundamental redefinition does not happen.
