Best Answer

The legalization of same-sex marriage benefits the economy in these ways:

  1. The cost of weddings stimulates the economy.
  2. The purchase of wedding gifts stimulates the economy.
  3. The cost of wedding-related travel stimulates the economy.
  4. The state (and some cities) receive sales tax revenue from wedding-related expenses.
  5. The state saves money on entitlement programs, as the burden of support for some individuals shifts to a same-sex spouse when that spouse's income is used for calculating eligibility (something not done where same-sex marriage is not legalized).
