If both people work and make decent money, marriage in general causes you to pay more taxes. It's called the marriage penalty. That would apply to any marriage. If one person stays home then you get a benefit.

Single people pay higher taxes though.

Two single working people do, yes. One working person with a stay at home spouse pays less than those two independently though since the stay at home spouse confers all his benefits to his partner.

Besides adopting children, what are the chances of a gay couple with one of them being a staying at home person.
