Gay Marriages are Good for the Economy

Isn't it funny how people can't pay for health insurance, can't find jobs, and can't afford to send their kids to college, but, by God, they will get out to vote for some politician who will make sure that some gay guy they don't know can't marry another gay guy they don't know.

Well, here's an argument that kicks them in the posterior. It turns out that gay marriage is actually good for the economy! Sure, when a whole pile of extra people are hiring wedding planners, going on fancy honeymoons, throwing catered banquets and the like, more money is bound to get pumped into the economy.

So the next time some reactionary fascist tells you that gay marriage leads us "down a slippery slope that might end up with some hippie marrying a tree," point out to him that the happy union of hippie and tree just might some day employ his son.
