The fact that I’m sitting in my living room, in Idaho, reading about, but not really giving 2 sh!ts about their marriage tells me that their little private, intimate ceremony isn’t really so.

“For example, before they married, if Gray passed away, Ewert would be forced to pay an estate tax on the property Gray left behind.”

Looks like it is just a scheme to get out if paying taxes.

Now, what is going to stop two people of the same gender who are just friends from getting married just to avoid paying taxes?

This opens the door like never before for tax evasion making it possible for two people two marry for tax reasons.

the black person is dressed in what appears to be a man’s suit. And definitely has a mannish appearance.

If “lesbian” peoples are simply women who love other women, why do so many go out of their way to have a mannish appearance????

Bingo! We have a winner. What keeps a dad from marrying his son to avoid inheritance taxes? You will see the left have a stroke if that happens.
