We at DCist get a lot of crazy stuff in our in-boxes. Today’s addition to that list might prove to be a new highlight, if only because it was written by someone running for elected office. Experienced District political types will guess the author quickly enough, but we figured we may as well give everyone else a shot. As you read, just know this — the author is serious. And without further delay, after the jump we present to you an economic argument of why D.C. should ban gay marriage.

Enjoy.
