Interesting point. How could we explain a person like an insurance actuary, that is only anti-gay marriage due to damage he/she predicts it will do to his/her company? Let's say that person has forged this veiwpoint solely on financials? Should this person be considered homophobic, or just a greedy a--hole?

Or, on the flip-side, how do you describe the same insurance acutary that is pro-gay marriage only because there is a tidy sum of money to be made from the new partnership insurance premiums that are on the way? A helpful homophobe?
