$111M For MA In 5 Years Of Gay Marriage

Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts and a study released to coincide with the anniversary says that the state has reaped an additional $111M in revenue from gay weddings. The average couple spends $7400 on their nuptials there and one in ten spends more than $20,000. “A second study by the same group found that young, highly educated people in same-sex relationships were 2.5 times more likely to move to Massachusetts after 2004 than before gay marriage became legal.”
