The IRS is not the government you moron they are agents of the government therefore they cannot create any laws.

We still get to file joint federal taxes if we were legally married in a state that has done the right thing.

The point is the IRS hasn't settled anything and they aren't authorized to create laws. Which this seems to be the case.

The IRS didn't "create" any law, the complied with existing law once DOMA (Section 3) was found unconstitutional.

Same sex marriage has the same effect as poisoning the water supply. It's toxic once accepted.

The only thing ‘toxic’ is your unwarranted hate toward same-sex couples.

not the same thing and you know it. interracial marriage is a man and woman of different races.

gay marriage is something quite different----biologically.

They made the same argument about mixed race marriages

That it was biologically wrong to mix the races

That is a false weak straw man. In the biracial argument, the argument was the future children would have lifelong hardships, that they wanted to keep purity of the races. It was nothing about biological difference. While you support gay marriage or not, you must recognize they procreate. That is a much different argument then racial purity!

Nonsense.

Both issues are part of the same 14th Amendment jurisprudence:

These statutes also deprive the Lovings of liberty without due process of law in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.

Loving v. Virginia

Prior to November 4, 2008, the California Constitution guaranteed the right to marry to opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples alike. On that day, the People of California adopted Proposition 8, which amended the state constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry. We consider whether that amendment violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We conclude that it does.

PERRY v. BROWN, Nos. 10?16696, 11?16577., February 07, 2012 - US 9th Circuit | FindLaw

The states cannot deny persons in their jurisdiction access to marriage law predicated on either race or sexual orientation.
