On my way into the metro, a nice lady from Our Place, a local social work agency, gave me a little baggie with a heart shaped lollipop, some condoms, and educational material about sexually transmitted diseases and other health issues.
An economist on NPR this morning was discussing his research that determined that a marriage is equal to, on average, $100,000 worth of happiness per year.
On my way out of the metro, I was confronted with a wall of billboards from the Marriage Works people who promote that same message but want to deny that happiness to the 600,000 or so committed gay and lesbian couples in the U.S.
