Gay reparations:

For couples separated by deportation orders–because only marriage conveys citizenship and federal law does not permit gays to marry–all the funds in the national treasury could not make full amends. Yet the admission of collective culpability behind such payments might offer a first step toward reconciliation.

However, the author — bioethicist Jacop Appel, whose work “has appeared in The New York Times” – does see a possible downside:

The only danger in such a proposal is the possibility that a minority of unscrupulous straight people might claim homosexuality in an effort to defraud taxpayers.

I’m sure we can find ways to guard against that — perhaps by hiring the Canadian immigration experts who turned down this Nicaraguan gay’s refugee claim on the grounds that he seemed insufficiently homosexual.
