Gay Marriages Good for the Economy?

How much money do people typically spend on marriages? A lot, yes. Especially if you include everything immediately before and after the marriage. So, would the legalization of gay marriages induce a temporary spending spree? And if so, how much of an impact would it have, if at all?

However, would that mean companies would have to spend more money on health coverage, etcetera? Or, does it mean less work and paperwork since there’s less status types to remember?

Or, maybe all of this is a non-issue. I was just trying to think pragmatically.

[damn, missed the update… and I was doing so well, too]
