Precisely. I applaud google for taking this proactive step, even though gay guys totally wierd me out, and gay women seem to hijack google's search engines on a regular basis. I don't know how it happens, honest.

Personally, I wouldn't give tax breaks to anyone simply because they have a religious or contractual civil partnership of any kind. I'd base taxation on a flat rate for every individual with a cutoff point for people making below a certain amount.
