It isn’t even a real bribe, its just a report which arrives at the pre-conceived conclusions and purports to show that gay marriage will pump $217M into Hawaii’s economy. It won’t. The same author, Sumner LaCroix, in 2011 made the same type of claims in the run-up to Civil Unions. As everybody knows, they are just doing their part for Political Correctness. Who could be fooled?
