And a big key in driving the profitability in the Tech Industry especially is having a well educated work force. Education levels played a fairly large role in the results.
Research Triangle Park will not suffer from this amendment.

I am an educated person who works in the tech industry and supports the amendment - so what is your point?
There is absolutely no objective evidence to back up your claims that anti-gay marriage amendments are the reason companies don't choose a state to set up operations. You're feeding off of media-driven propoganda. Don't be so gullible.
I work in high tech directly with these people. I don't need the media, I hear it everywhere. Again, how much high tech do you see in red states? High growth, high income, clean industries with strong quality of life, and they won't go near the red states. But you go ahead and keep thinking otherwise.
Explain why you think that people who support Amendment 1 should feel shame for doing so. In other words - defend your position.
I think my side has been repeated several times over here. No need to explain to someone who will not get it. I have seen your previous posts and there is no point in wasting my time. You know my side. It has been debated million times over.
"As other states recognize marriage equality, Washington's employers are at a disadvantage if we cannot offer a similar, inclusive environment to our talented employees, our top recruits and their families. Employers in the technology sector face an unprecedented national and global competition for top talent. Despite progress made in recent years with domestic partnership rights, same-sex couples in Washington still hold a different status from their neighbors. Marriage equality in Washington would put employers here on an equal footing with employers in the six other states that already recognize the committed relationships of same-sex couples - Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. This in turn will help us continue to compete for talent." Marriage Equality in Washington State Would Be Good for Business - The Official Microsoft Blog
You can read about other corporations endorsing gay marriage below:
Stop with the crap. Social responsibility within companies takes on many different forms. If gay marriage is one of the platforms of these companies, so be it. They probably like clean rivers and green trees and park benches in parks and sidewalks in ghettos. That's how social responsibility works in big business. Microsoft didn't go bankrupt because of the 30 states with marriage amendments. Neither did Google or Starbucks. Your point is moot.
Rights aren't determined by popular vote in this country. The people can vote for whatever they want, but if it's found to be unconstitutional, the law is struck down.
I don't take issue with your assertion that you're related to these idiots, that seems obvious. But I do take issue with the "Christian" comment. Christians aren't hateful persons, nor do they display such prejudice. Not real Christians.

Got tons of them in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta..... but then again, those cities are pretty gay friendly even if they are located in red states
The aging hippies are dying out and the socially conservative Mexicans are going to outnumber liberal White's pretty soon.
If you people haven't noticed, the same liberals who orgasmically proclaim that Whites will be a minority in this country in the coming years do not realize that liberal White people are the only reason "diversity", "inclusion", and "tolerance" exist in this country.
Haha little do you know...
Hispanics and blacks are becoming more supportive of same-sex marriage than whites.
