    California sees business boom from gay weddings

    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday clears the way for gay marriage ceremonies that could bring a business windfall to San Francisco and other cities starting this month.

    "The economic impacts will be huge," said David Paisley, a senior projects manager at Community Marketing Inc.

    Estimates suggest that gay weddings will pump $684 million into the California economy in three years, said Lee Badgett, research director of the Institute on Sexual Orientation, Law & Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles.

    And I though you were going to make money selling tapes of you and your momma having a threesome with the milkman.
    What is life without honour? Degradation is worse than death. We must think of the living and of those who are to come after us, and see that by God's blessing we transmit to them the freedom we have ourselves inherited.

    Seeing as faggotdom is all about sex I forsee many divorces and marriages all over the place. So yes this will be a booming bussiness...That and their need to feel normal when they are not.

    hateful conservatives.

    Where are the conservatives of principle, that i could atleast have a rational, tolerant, civil discussion about this, and who would accept that while i wouldnt try to change their mind, and would respect their opinion, they would respect mine.

    its like im speaking greek on this board

    This is not a difference of opinion, it has nothing to do with gays. It is a vile unprovoked attack that also includes family members. There are simple guidelines here, they have been updated, you should familiarize yourself with them. Remarks such as this will result in a ban, simple.

    This thread IS about actsnoble difference of opinion where HE ALONE gets to shit all over the board with HIS vile crap yet when a difference of opinion is made I as well as others get attacked for it and I guess because I dont go whine to any moderators it is ok.


    Banning Ranger was reasonable. He deserved it!


    However everything else people let slide over and over and over again is not...

    Point taken. The staff is going to make an effort to curb the vile crap. The has been alot of it lately, we will be moving forward with this. The staff will not go back to posts a few days ago to take action. Our efforts more or less started yesterday, and you are right Acts has certianly done his fair share of shitting on the board and if he does so from now on he will face the same discipline. I understand the frustration, it could be a bumpy ride for a while, but we can all do a wonderful job a presenting our points of view and debating without the vile crap. Thanks

    I'm not a hateful conservative, I'm just a CONSERVATIVE not to be confused with a Republican as of late.
    You knew exactly the type of response you would get when you posted this stupid thread so don't act surprised or shocked. You posted it to pick a fight, not debate or discuss. Thats cool I have no problem with that just try to be intellectually honest about it.
