Portfolio Magazine, a left slanted business magazine wrote this edititorial commentary about why business should support gay marriage. I emailed the following response back to their editors (letters@portfolio.com) and also posted it on their blog.

To the Editors of Portfolio Magazine,
I just finished reading your commentary The Price of Prejudice, where you commend the Supreme Court of California for overturning the vote of the people to legalize gay marriage. I think your appeal to business and capitalist to push for gay marriage to “recruit, retain and motivate the best and the brightest” is unfortunate and incorrect. The United States has been an economic powerhouse for decades, if not a century, without the need for gay marriage. Your warning to us that countries such as “Canada, Spain and South Africa” are legalizing gay marriage, therefore we should be concerned about losing top notch talent and business is laughable. The United States had an estimated $13.84 trillion GDP in 2007, where as Spain had $1.352 trillion, Canada was at $1.266 trillion and South Africa…..wait are you ready for this…. $467.1 billion GDP.
The most unfortunate realization about this article you wrote is that you completely deny the fact that the voters of California were overruled by the courts. You then go on to say how the “majority of Americans” oppose same-sex marriage. You should be writing an article about how disgusting and un-American it is for courts to overrule the people.
Your socialist agenda is going down a slippery slope when you favor activist courts over the vote of the people. I would hate for your magazine some day to get squelched by some activist court or government as your brethren in Iran have recently faced with the shut down of that Iranian Daily newspaper who simply opposed the Government.
I would protest your magazine by not paying for it and cancelling my subscription, but I don’t pay for it, I read it for free at the library. Isn’t socialism great?
