I can't really see that, that's a bad thing

Not saying it is
It seems like a very minor point in the general scheme of things

I'd agree
so I wonder why people are bitching about it

Well, because it's massively unfair is why.
Married? Have some money.
Gay and in a civil partnership? Fuck you. But don't fuck off to my B&B, you're not welcome there you deviants.

I'm not sure if the tax breaks apply to gay couples
but I'm pretty sure that it does actually. And the B&B issue has nothing to do with this discussion at all.

See NakedApes post below for why they're thinking of this taxbreak

Yeah I don't think it discriminates against the gays
and it's more that people are fed up with single people being given tax breaks when you don't necessarily earn more as a couple.

It applies to any civil partnership/marriage
Not just heterosexuals.
