Topic: Gay marriage
Quote: Your arguing apples and oranges. There are laws already on the books, prior to the unfunded mandate statute, that prohibit discrimination in employment.\nGays partners have no legal status today, so the granting of legal status to them will result in increased expenditures by business.
Response: But there were not always laws on the books that prevented these things. I was presenting a hypothetical situation in which those laws are not already on the books. The situtation was intended to show only that a ruling allowing same-sex marriage would not have to cost companies a dime.\n
