Barb's Burblings

Singlehood works, too

I was driving up to Baltimore to visit my grandmother this morning and I saw a billboard along 95. It was a picture of a couple at their wedding. In big letters, the billboard read "Married couples [people? I don't quite remember] earn more money." And in small letters at the bottom, it read "Marriage works." I just really wonder who bought that ad space. I'm guessing some religious group. It's kind of offensive, and I say that as someone who sees a lot of benefits to marriage. For one thing, what about the group of people who can't get married because they're gay? I just don't really understand the purpose of the billboard. Who is it targeting? Will they really be swayed by a billboard? I just don't get it at all.
