For many, Tax Day is a bitter reminder that our federal laws don’t protect GLBT people and their loved ones, as same-sex couples deal with higher taxes on health care, payment for Social Security benefits their loved ones may never receive, and a host of other financial penalties.

Take a moment to send a message to Congress demanding they pass "Family Matters" legislation – to give same-sex families the rights and benefits that most people take for granted. Take action now >>
GLBT people aren’t asking for the moon.We’re asking for basic protections that are the foundation of a productive, happy life – for equality on Tax Day and throughout the year.
