Equality is that those that produce/raise the future are taxed at a lower rate than those that do not.
Where do you assume that people are taxed at different rates based on being married or not?
The rate is determined by Adjust Gross Income. The rate of tax is determined by how much you make not really by whether someone is married or not. The deduction for a single person is $6,200. The deduction for a married couple is $12,400 for the two people.
The people that produce the "future" (assuming you mean children) get a deduction for each child - that deduction is not conditional on being married or single, straight or gay.

Why bring sexual orientation into this? I've addressed that. I also addressed the child deduction. It ends when the child leaves home. It, or maybe a lower rate deduction should continue as the child becomes a tax payer.
That is a continuing societal benefit.
