Politically, primarily, yes. The companies support politicians. The politicians in turn support any group (in this case anti gay groups) that will advance the agenda that the companies that support the politician, are paying that politician to support. The added influx of capital to the anti gay group (religious?) gives them the means of campaigning against the gays, which helps the politician, because it seems he has much more support than he actually does. With the media bought and paid for by these same companies, the the politician now has an even larger voice to pass through the agenda of those very same companies.
Hey, it's a shitty system, but it's all we've got until people stand up to these companies (and deny them equal rights) and demand that the politicians honor their constituent's support.
Sorry, I hope that makes sense.
Is it normal to think the government should be uninvolved in marriage?
