Get Me to the Church on Time

I'm done fighting you on this one. Come ahead, full steam.

"Gay marriages pumped $111m into state

A study says the more than 12,000 same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts since 2004 have injected more than $111 million into the state's economy. The report from the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law says a typical same-sex couple spent about $7,400 on their wedding, with one in 10 couples spending 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. Yesterday marked the five-year anniversary of Massachusetts recording its first same-sex marriage licenses. M.V. Lee Badgett, a University of Massachusetts researcher and a study co-author, said the law has helped businesses in tough economic times (AP)."

Yeah, why shouldn't they have all the joys of marriage, readers?

"The couples who led the fight to legalize gay marriage say their unions have been just like anyone else's. One of the seven couples who brought the landmark lawsuit is now in the midst of a divorce."
