The Republican Party is about to shift its opposition to gay marriage. Instead of arguing that it’s a sin, conservative talking heads will focus on how expensive gay marriage will be to small businesses. Health benefits to same sex spouses? Expensive!
Along comes Keith Olbermann on his MSNBC talk show, countering that lots of people make more money when gays marry. Like wedding photographers who shoot gay weddings.
We don’t know if this is the most powerful argument for gay marriage. Since it was legalized in Massachusetts, we’ve yet to see any hard statistics about the effect gay marriage has had on wedding photography income. A UCLA Study showed Prop 8 will would have increased California wedding industry income by 684 million dollars over three years. Olbermann does point-out weddings, gay and straight, add 70-billion dollars a year to the US economy.

I don’t trust a single word that comes out of the mouth of that blowhard Olberman. If he said 2+2=4, I’d find a calculator to verify.
Makes sense to me! Bring on that money!
