Check out Syracuse's proposed policy that would give gay and lesbian employees $1,000 back for the taxes they pay due to partner benefits.

This is really interesting! While it's true that it is not Syracuse's "fault" that the government does not recognize same-sex unions, does the $1000 really disadvantage hetero couples? It seems like that would even the playing field, not disadvantage anyone.
