The fight for gay marriage was/is about the benefits afforded by the state to legally married couples.

Which is absolutely privilege because single people don't get those same tax breaks.

Depending on your situation, being married could actually mean you pay more in taxes.

My wife and I pay more taxes because we are married without children. If we were not married and filed as singles, our tax burden would be much less. But IDK really, mostly because I enjoy living in a working society and that means paying taxes.

I'm certainly not a tax expert, but I think you can both file separately. That's what my ex and I did back when we were married.

Our wages are not really equal and when we tried to separate it all to file separately, any benefit only helps one of us at the expense of the other.
