In a clarification that threatens the viability of same-sex marriages, the IRS says homosexual couples cannot file joint tax returns because they would be in violation of the Defense of Marriage Act.

The IRS says the 1996 statute, signed by President Clinton, means "only married individuals under this definition could elect to file a joint tax return."

No, PC enough would mean being man enough to overcome prejudices based on personal feelings. wait, that would be called being adult, not PC. my bad.

No tax benefits for ignorant assholes
No tax benefits for people with their heads up their asses
No tax benefits for people suffering with ego issues
etc
