Illinois stands to gain a lot financially with the passage of the pending marriage equality law, a new study says. Queerty reports:
Produced by UCLA’s Williams Institute, the report adds up several sectors that would benefit from allowing same-sex couples to tie the knot: Illinois’ wedding industry would see an increase of about $74 million; the influx of out-of-town guests would mean an additional $29 million; state and local tax revenue would rise by $8.5 million; roughly 280 new jobs would be created by the uptick in weddings.
Sounds like a no-brainer.
