UK.GAY.COM :: Gay weddings boost funds

Apparently we're good economic sense now. The Williams Project at UCLA School of Law and the Institute for Gay and Lesbian Strategic Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst have released a study saying letting gay couples get married will actually benefit the economy, both of local states in the short term when there are few and of the whole country (to the tune of $16.8 billion in spending) in the long term when there are many. This should have been obvious. At least it's one more argument against equality put to rest.

Please make note of the study. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. And the next time you hear the inane argument that marriage equality would create an unbearable economic burden, please remind the speaker to remove his or her head from his or her preferred orifice and look at the evidence.
