What We Really Worship

This is a quote from Gail Pellerin, the Santa Cruz County Recorder, in Santa Cruz county's Mid-County Post from an article entitled, "Same-Sex Marriage Surge Boosts Santa Cruz County's Revenues,"

'The boost in revenues has definitely helped our county's budget,' Pellerin said. 'It is hard to turn your back on revenue.'

Pellerin has also seen the celebratory mood prompt people to spend. 'Couples are out buying rings and flowers and going out to dinner. This law came at a perfect time.'

It seems like we can't say no to gay marriage when it boosts the economy!  Even Hallmark has gotten in on the action.
