Exactly how strong does the economy need to be before it will be okay to consider providing homosexuals with the same rights as heterosexuals? Must equality of rights really wait for the GDP or unemployment or home ownership to reach a certain level? I'm not sure I understand that logic.
In reality there is no way the federal government will have the courage to tackle the issue of gay marriage anyway - regardless of the economic environment - but I think the argument that they
shouldn't concern themselves with the issue now just because of the economy is seriously flawed.
