Gay Marriage Will Destroy the Economy According to RNC Chief Steele

Picking Michael Steele as the chief of the GOP made sense when it first happened. A Black man had just been elected President and the GOP needed to do something to ensure that they appeared up to date. So, they picked Michael Steele, a Catholic Black man from Maryland. Since being picked, he’s said some ridiculous things and failed with his first election in New York. Two days ago, though, he hit his next all time low.

In an effort to try and pull younger people to the GOP side, he said that “gay marriage is a burden on small businesses.”

This is absolutely, positively ridiculous. He’s singling out homosexual marriages as a burden to small businesses in America. I’ve heard this argument before, but it doesn’t make sense. Marriage as a whole is a burden to small businesses in America. Businesses have to pay for all the health care, dental, eye care, and other things for the employee as well as for the spouse. However, to suggest that homosexual marriage alone is the only burden to businesses is atrocious.

Heterosexual marriages are a burden to businesses as well! If you consider the population, heterosexual marriages are more of a burden than homosexual marriages. How does this make sense then?

It’s a covert attempt at denouncing the idea of gay marriage. However, that argument is very simple. Religiously, gay marriage may not be right, but the United States is not a religious country. There is a separation of church and state and therefore, no constitutional reason that gay marriage should be banned.

If a business is going to offer coverage for spouses, then it is important to take the rights of every American into consideration. This plan to suggest that if homosexual marriages are allowed would result in the destruction of the America small business is another example of the GOP’s fear tactics. They’ve realized that more people are beginning to warm to the idea of gay marriage in the county so they say that it is dangerous to the economy to allow gay marriage.

These are the United States of America and there are certain rights that the Republican Party would love to encroach on. Gay marriage may not see eye-to-eye with a religious institution’s beliefs; however, the USA is not affiliated with any single church. As long as marriage is not just religious, but also financial and legal, no religion can demand their belief be the true one.

Michael Steele’s attempt to scare people into joining the GOP just demonstrates how weak the GOP is becoming. These are people’s rights. A person has the right to love whoever they please and marry whoever they please. It may not agree with a church, but it is a right. As long as marriage is not just religious, it is unconstitutional to deny an American their right. Michael Steele is demonstrating time and time again how much of a failure as a RNC Chief he really is.
