Rhode Island: Gov. Chafee on the economic benefits of same-sex marriage

Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee presses for marriage equality:

“We are in intense competition with Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts,” said Chafee, a 59-year-old Republican- turned-independent, ticking off three nearby states where gays can wed.

“We are all in the same economy. We have to have the same welcome mat at our door that our neighbors have.”
