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 said in a press release announcing the legislation that the tax code is outdated and does not reflect marriage equality.
