3. I feel kinda stupid. :(
I'm gay, I'm deeply concerned about my rights, and I would've had to guess on number four. I honestly didn't know if there were any federal laws protecting the right of LGBT people to work. My cynicism probably would have given me an unfair advantage here though. I know for a fact that there are such laws in Oregon, my home state. And I know the state constitution says that same-sex marriages are not valid, and that only a statute bans it on the federal level, meaning same-sex married couples in Massachusetts can't file their federal taxes as married couples.

So I like to think I'm pretty knowledgeable on the subject, but I feel bad about not knowing number four. :(
