Same-Sex Marriage is Good for the Economy

A study in Maryland indicates that marriage equality will generate…

…“more than $90 million per year.” “Not only would the state net about $3.6 million in sales and lodging tax revenue, but over three years wedding-related businesses could see as much as $21 million per year from same-sex couples living in Maryland and another $73 million from couples traveling from out-of-state to get married,”

Not that it matters to fearmongers and zealots, but yeah. Duh. Happier people means a healthier economy.

    Not to mention the retail boom from wedding registries. The GOP is filled with a bunch of hateful idiots who don’t even know what’s good for them.
