re: Gay marriage now legal in all 50 states

If it's any consolation to the few of you that seem to be inconsolable over the fact that you're losing your control over other people's private lives...

let's look at it from a financial perspective.

For one, tax revenues are going to increase for every gay couple that marries because their joint income will throw them into a higher tax bracket and they will no longer be able to "double dip" with itemized deductions on one partner's return while the other partner takes the $6,000+ standard deduction.


The ruling should give us better roads to drive on.

Not to mention the injection of money into local economies from their weddings, engagements parties, etc.

And they all seem to move into old beat up houses and gentrify them. Its weird how common it is for gay folk to do that. Great for neighborhoods. Not that they couldn't do this before, but I'm sure getting married will make more have committed lifestyles like sharing a home under two names.

So we can agree this is a victory for the poo eating lobby?

Point of all of this being, nature does not determine what the best outcome for human flourishing. Typically, humans are endowed with reason and logic. I'd rather not have our actions defined by nature or what two confused monkeys were observed to be doing.
