Dems introduce bill to take gender-specific terms out of tax code to make it LGBTQ-inclusive

[Wingnut]

A bill introduced by two Democratic lawmakers Thursday would update the U.S. tax code to remove gender-specific references such as “husband” and “wife” and would replace the terms with “spouse” in an effort to be LGBTQ-inclusive.

Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Andy Levin (D-Mich.) said in a press release announcing the legislation that the tax code is outdated and does not reflect marriage equality.
