I have no idea what his thought processes were. If he'd of spent even a few minutes thinking it through he would have realized that almost every outcome of his actions were going to be negative for him.

First of all if you go back and read the blurb this guy is actually mad at Christie of New Jersey. And while Martinez may have agreed with Christie's veto of the gay marriage bill in New Jersey the fact is that this clown is trying to punish Christie by proxy. Exactly how does that work?

Martinez is hugely popular in the state, over 64% voter approval.

The gay community is tolerated in the state. The state has always been a little on the libertarian side politically. But that does not mean that the gay community is actively embraced. Gay marriage is NOT an issue in the state and it's highly unlikely that it will be anytime in the near future. The state does not have a citizen initiative process to place a referendum on the ballot and given the state demographics there will be nothing forthcoming via the legislative process. So in reality whether Martinez agrees with Christie is a moot point in that she will never have a gay marriage bill placed before her.

And even the gay community itself tends to be more on the conservative side in the state.

Or maybe, you know, he wanted to assert his worth as a human being regardless of the consequences.

I would agree with the general point that in most of the country, gay businessmen can't afford to reject business from homophobes; there are just too many of them out there.

Homophobes and opponents of gay marriage are two different groups.

I imagine that some homophobes would support gay marriage. The dandy in the gym shower is less threatening if he has a ring on his finger.
 
I have absolutely no knowledge of whether the Gov is "a lesbian", nor did I state "she was" "a lesbian"...

...where did you read that?
My god... Are you a goldfish?

Imagine the reverse uproar if the Gov was in a lesbian 15-year relationship, had championed gay marriage through the legislature...
Liar said:
Whether said governor is lesbian or not is irrelevant.
 
gays are tolerated?

I probably could/should have used a better term. But tolerated will do, as opposed to intolerant or worse behavior on the part of the non-gay cultures. There's been a long standing openly gay community in the state since at least the mid 70's that I can attest to. No friction with or animosity from the other cultures in the state. Maybe you might suggest a better word, I'm not going to worry about it all that much.

Having a problem with reading comprehension I see.
