Why limit it to two? Are you discriminating against the "B"s?

Because one person should not be able to deduct more than one spouse on
her income tax return

You can deduct all of your dependents now, gay straight or whatever.

True, but there is only one box for 'Spouse'. And how come you keep editing my posts?

How about unreconstructed Mormon? More than one spouse.

I wonder if they can claim them all as 'spouses'.

As long as you list a spouse, you can use the "married" column in the
tax table. (better rate than single in some circumstances) Everyone
else is just a dependent defined as
"any other person(other than your spouse) who lived with you all year
as a member of your household" -1040 instruction book

In fact, it would actually be better for you if you did not list a
spouse if you have dependents since you could use the "single head of
household" column. (much better rate)
That is one reason why I question all of this gay marriage thing in
the first place
As a tax payer I welcome them choosing to pay higher taxes tho.

If the gays want to pay the marriage penalty let them.
