G.A.Y: Destroying D.C.’s Economy

Good As You has a great post about the FRC and their brand of homophobia and how they use it to argue that gay marriage will destroy D.C.’s economy.  Below is an excerpt:

When a group blames HIV/AIDS on any population, they’ve already lost the argument. Most always.

My Partner Left Me With Bad Credit

They say money is one of two topics that will surely ruin a relationship. I disagree. Money only becomes a problem when one person or both people enter into the relationship without knowing where the other stands on the financial tight rope.
