Any "gay marriage" bills should have been argued as "jobs bills". At the very least, by not voting against gay marriage, you are hurting people in the wedding industry (photographers, fashion, bakers, halls, etc).

Never understood why that angle was not brought up against hardcore republican/conservative voters - the type who are usually all "pro jobs/work/smallbusiness" types. Perhaps because it makes sense, and logic/reason isn't typically being employed by people when the "gay marriage" legislation topic floats around.
