Gay Marriage Good For The Economy: UCLA Study

HuffingtonPost.com: The California Supreme Court overturned the state's gay marriage ban in May, and a new study from UCLA says that gay marriage will be good for the economy:

A new study says same-sex weddings will provide California's economy with a
substantial boost, creating thousands of jobs and much needed revenue.

The study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law says direct spending by same-sex couples will add $684 million to the state's wedding industry and $64 million to the state budget over the next three years.

The study estimates that half of California's 102,639 same-sex couples will marry over the next three years and another 68,000 will come from out-of-state. As many as 2,200 additional jobs will be created.

LSB: Oh, I can't wait for the wingnuts to start shooting holes in this study. (UCLA is, afterall, a left-leaning university.)
