Looks like a revenue generating opportunity that California is missing out on...

Denying consenting adults rights available to others is hardly the definition of freedom...you probably already knew that, ironically.

Smart Republicans realized that last year:

According to a report co-authored by Brad Spears, J.D., and M.V. Lee Badgett, Ph.D., “allowing same-sex couples to marry will result in approximately $63.8 million in revenue over the next three years.” This figure is staggering given that California faces a $15 to $17 billion budget deficit this year alone.

Way beyond ridiculous, I would suggest those people seriously need some help of the psychological kind... Though at that stage it sounds terminal and there may be little to do for the patient. There has to be a stage where sadly mental rot is so advanced that nothing can be done to save the bigot...


I don't know about the US but in the UK one way which developers and town planners know a place is on the up is when Gay people start moving in...

There is a term for it I can't remember. Basically an area chosen by Gay people to locate to attracts all the up-market restaurants, stores etc.. crime levels are way down as are all kind of anti-social behaviour etc... Developers and town planners welcome the Gay community because it means better cultural facilities, the urban environment will be better looked after and the area generally safer for everyone. I would chose a Gay community to live any time over one full of white supremacists or religious nuts.

I keep reading some posts on this forum with amazement. The demonising of the Gay community by some people is almost comical in its moronic self-righteousness but sadly the tragedy that bigotry and intolerance brings to our society wins out every time and all it becomes is yet another example as to why some people should seek help and maybe inform themselves a tad better before speaking.

The demonisation of the Gay community is so ridiculous, so baseless that it seems impossible that civilised human beings , could even compare in the same breath bestiality ( the abuse of inocent animals for the sexual gratification of human beings) with Homosexuality .


The mind boggles as to an intelligent human being could even draw this comparison. Enough said.

As the saying does "Don't believe everything you think " , in some posters's case it might be the only way for them to retain a modicum of intellectual integrity and sanity.

Grow up and stop to think before you open your big mouth. Those comments are beyond offensive.

The threads of fundamentalist extreme beliefs of this nature and psychosis seem pretty intertwined into a perfect symbiosis of mental unbalance and bigotry.

Over 2 years on this forum and I still can't believe the hatred, bigotry and moronic comments without any factual, intellectual, logical basis...

I think most of the ridiculous comments seen here are just meant to mess with people.

Anyhow, that's a lot of change. I can't wait till gays have equal rights in all 50 states. It's only a matter of time. Maybe it'll cause some of the loonies to go crazy and take a shortcut to Heaven
