Together with the study a year ago which showed that politicians who are pro gay-rights tends to get re-elected this could be a serious carrot.
-Vote for gay-rights, get re-elected and help the economy. Vote against and feed the recession.

My partner and I are travelling from Ohio to Provincetown in September to be married on our 20th anniversary. Supporting these findings, we are spending about $7,000 on our wedding.

Kinda funny how Americans are more likely to do somthing against their values if they smell money in the air. Im gay, and I would love to be united civily with my future spouse, the more money gays give to these states for marriage the more it will catch on in other states, which is good, but for some odd reason I smell somthing fishy, it always smells that way when money is involved, we’ll see…

Awesome!
Besides the moral and ethical arguments for marriage equality, let’s face it…money talks. And loud. No plagues yet, and revenue coming in for the state. Looks like a win that could influence other states.

Frankly I cannot see other states doing as well as Mass. MA has always been a progressive, intelligent state since before the Civil War. I cannot see gays wanting to move to loser states like Virginia, South Carolina or West Virginia etc.!

Duh. That’s all I can say. Why spend money on studies when we could have told them this all along?
