Yahoo! just posted a report from Kiplinger that lists the top 8 U.S. cities for future job growth.
Kiplinger says these cities are "poised to become job-creating machines in the years ahead."
Those who continue to push the false meme "gay marriage = economic stimulus" or that protecting marriage somehow impedes job growth should take note that all of these cities are in states that have passed marriage amendments:
1. Nashville, TN
2. San Antonio, TX
3. Orlando, FL
4. Raleigh, NC
5. Portland, OR
6. Oklahoma City, OK
7. Phoenix, AZ
8. Atlanta, GA

It is a myth. There are not enough gay couples to grow business in pro gay states.
This is just one of the opposition's tactics. Take any subject people are concerned about and make the claim that redefining marriage will fix it.
Redefining marriage will stop climate change.
Redefining marriage will end childhood obesity.
Redefining marriage will stimulate economic growth.
The opposition is truthophobic.
Solid families of a married mom and dad with their children are the economic base on which our economy thrives.
Barb, I like that word, "truthophobic". Let u all use this word more, it appropriately describes the other side.
Barb says:
Redefining marriage will stop climate change.

Let us not forget their most important point:
Redefining marriage will not affect the religious liberties of Christians and will have no effect on public education.
Anyways kudos to this school district for not caving in the pressure unlike those Canadian Catholic schools who are being forced to have the homosexual agenda forced down the throats of children whether the parents like it or not.
The South is an economic powerhouse, if it were its own country it would be the 4th largest economy in the world.
Conservative values promote prosperity. Liberal values undermine it.
Don't most of these states have some of the highest divorce rates?
@Woody
More marriages mean more divorces. Secularism discourages marriage as people who cohabitate see no reason to tie the knot.
The South is a key to the defeat of Barack Obama.
The defeat of Barack Obama is a key to the defeat of pseudo-amrriage.
It is time to stand up and fight against this incredible attempt to impose perverted homosexual values upon the minds of innocent and helpless children; children who depend upon us to act for them.
Rick@ 10, you speak the truth, preach it my NOM brother...Once again, great post, I'm always looking out for you when I'm here because you offer a lot of wisdom and food for thought. As many others here at NOM do also! Rick great to have you on the same team to help keep us focused on the true goal, to defeat OBAMA in November... but do spread your wealth of humanity in other media outlets, to the confused and loss souls out there who are being mislead by the enemy within...
NOM, please release my post for this blog, thank you!
