Why would companies with commercial interests fool around with something like the gay marriage issue? I don’t think they would. Do you?
Gays have a lot of leverage in the marketplace.
Remember most of our younger citizens have received a progressive education.
Most any company that wants to sell to under 30 somethings will be in trouble if it’s not on “the list”.
Large corporations that have offices in several states and countries would like to be able to have the same health and benefit programs for all of their employees regardless of where they live. They would also like to be able to offer similar packages to employees who are required to transfer from one place to another.
It is easier and cheaper for them if all the states, or all the world for that matter, had the same rules and definitions regarding marriage.
That is why large corporations are in favor of globalization in general and legal issues in particular.
Of course some conservatives have been pulled onto the fascist bandwagon by rallying for insurance companies to be able to more easily sell their products across the country. This is supposedly some sort of expression in favor of free market capitalism. Large corporations don't care about free market capitalism, but they do like the fact that insurance companies can create huge nationwide monopolies, while other large corporations can simplify their benefit administration by putting all of their employees across the country under the same crappy and expensive plans provided by a single company.
