Let the money talk

Studies, studies everywhere and not a drop ... of change in policy?

A new report from UCLA shows that the state of Maryland would earn roughly $3 million if the state legislature allowed same-sex marriages. The article notes that in the debate over same-sex marriage and homosexuality in general, rarely does finance enter.

Maybe it should. The UCLA report finds that the state would earn more money not only from marriage licenses but also from sales taxes imposed on same-sex weddings.

To quote Tina Fey:
"Cuz you know those gay guys would go all out."

Republicans love money. This could get awkward.
