I have seen this as well--many are opportunities for loans and tax benefits for heterosexual married couples. Please share if you find the source. Thanks, Jen

Subject: TEACHSOC: heterosexual privelege
TeachSoc colleagues:
I have recently seen in pamphlets—and I am pretty sure I read this someplace in a scholarly source—that the federal government grants 1,138 rights to heterosexuals (these are rights that are not available to homosexuals) and most states also grant more than 200 specific rights to persons who marry (but of course most states do not allow homosexuals to marry). I am seeking a solid citation for this kind of assertion. Does anyone have a suggestion for a source?
