Gay marriage may be an economic boon to Iowa

[Bluzmann57]

Hey, I live here and am proud of it. And in spite of what that idiot from the other side of our great state, Steve King, says, you all are welcome to come into Iowa and get married. We are relatively certain that you will drop a few dollars, so come on down. We need the money. You may even find that Iowans are good hard working people who are mostly "live and let live" types. And then you might stay here to live and work, provided you can handle our strange weather. If that happens, gay people will pay taxes, buy groceries, go out for drinks, do home repairs, get cars worked on, and so on. That will bring in more money to us. So feel free to get married and stick around. As previously stated, you may even find that you like us and stay for a while.

2. Hey our weather makes us what we are.. quick on our feet

4. Well, quick on our feet to run indoors

when it's -30 outside or when it's 95 with humudity to match. Ah well, I guess that just comes with the territory. It's just that as I age, I have less tolerance for cold.
