Gay Marriage Attracting Skilled Workers To Mass

[WillParkinson]

(Boston, Massachusetts) Massachusetts is reaping huge financial gains as a result of same-sex marriage.

The Boston Business Journal reports that the only state in the country to allow gays to marry is become " a powerful lure for same-sex couples who want to live in a place where they can get married, gain legal rights and have access to spousal health benefits."

For decades the state has seen a brain drain despite having some of the most prestigious universities in the nation.

From 2003 to 2005, the population actually fell to 6,429,137 from 6,438,510, according to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau obtained by the publican.

1. Well, Romney alone caused thousands to leave.

The reflection off his hair was blinding too many.

2. excellent

it is well documented that gays have on average - higher disposable income, higher education levels, and a bunch of other factors that make them desirable citizens for any community, from an economic standpoint.

that the market is working this way is great. this is a great way to counteract bigotry - $$$$$. let the market work its magic.

over time, this increases acceptance, as businesspeople, landlords, etc. realize that gays, on average, are good workers, good tenants, and good members of the community.

a similar trend was seen post WWII with japanese americans. japanese americans have (compared to the population at large) low criminality, low out of wedlock births, higher average income, higher education rates, etc. it significantly helped acceptance.

3. Proud resident of Gaysrael!

Gaysreal, (see also Taxachusetts), is a tiny area near the northeast of the United States of America. As its name suggests, it is a very gay region. It is the only place in America where homosexuals can actually marry (and call it that!). Much like Israel is to the Jews, Gaysreal will hopefully be a haven where all can gather and practice their sick customs, while at the same time plotting to smother the rest of the free world with their perverse culture (the gays, that is).

Currently this mass return to "homoZion" has not occured on a biblical scale, but Stephen Colbert, and therefore all intelligent experts, agree that it will. The Gayza Strip remains a dangerous place for homo- and heterosexuals alike, and all are hoping for a speedy, bi-sexual resolution to the conflict.

And if it weren't for the guaranteed water issues, I'd be there already.
