They shouldn’t. In a perfect system, they have kids then get the tax break. But giving a tax break to straight married couples produces a more likely scenario where that couple decides have children. Those offspring are the most desirable for a society.

You know that there’s a joint filing tax break, and a whole other tax break for dependents, right?
Yes I know. But I think the tax break should only be for dependents. Joint filers already save money by pooling finances together for living costs.
Perhaps. Still not a good reason to block gay marriage, if straight people get the benefit for being childless.
That’s why I said ideally, there shouldn’t be a tax break straight or not unless that marriage produces children.
