Homestead rights, marital deduction inheritance under the federal tax code, spousal rollovers for IRA inheritance, tenants by the entireties creditor protection... I mean I could go on and on. Not to mention basically being made to feel like a second class citizen.
Kenny compared the denial of same sex marriage to Nazi gas chambers. That's HARM.
Do I think it's right?? NO. As I've said, I couldn't care less, as it doesn't affect me in any way and others can be happy to reap the benefits that straight people have been given for years. But it's not physical harm -- it's not imprisonment or being gassed.
