Allowing same-sex marriage in Georgia would pump nearly $80 million into the state’s economy, according to a study released Thursday by the UCLA school of law.
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 21,318 same-sex couples live in Georgia. Half would choose to marry within three years, the law school’s Williams Institute estimates, based on similar patterns in Massachusetts and other states where same-sex marriage is legal.
Highlights of the study include:
- Spending on wedding arrangements by the couples, and their out-of-town guests, would add $78.8 million to the state and local economies over three years.

They didn’t include what the lawyers will make for all the same-sex divorces.
Brewer sold out for less
Or the cost of the domestic abuse cases.
Only if 80 gay couples spend 1M on their wedding.
I guess UCLA hasn’t figured out how to use a calculator.
Cat-Themed Weddings will be through the roof!

the headline is a huge joke
you mean what lawyers will make
You beat me to it.
These type of analysis are idiotic. I’m sure you could find an economic upside to sex trafficking too. Just because you can make money from something doesn’t make it right.
lawyers will make a lot of money from this.
Like in my state which Morgan and Morgan a lawyer firm is pushing cannabis to be legal and has given million to Crist
Meanwhile normal couples are having children who will add to the economy of Georgia.
That will work. The other is against God’s law.
can make money from anything if we had no laws like this but like you said it doesn’t make it right .
Why not make more money for the elitist and have polygamy too?
Ahhhhh....those Opportunity Costs. That’s 80 million not going to the Democrat Party, then.
So would legalized prostitution, drugs and gambling casinos
However, I will wreak terrible vengeance upon any queer couples having a Confederate-Themed Re-Enactment Wedding.

After which we'll burn the town.
Incidentally, this estimate of income to the State of Georgia is way off. It didn't even look at the potentially exponential increase in bizarre tattoos, hers and hers motorcycle sales, depilatory products, etc. ad naus.
We are living the last days for sure. The sin is not the actual act as much as the " Pride" of the sin. The sin of " pride" comes from the enemy of our souls. The nation wants God out of the public life. A kid is taken out of class for saying " bless you." When you do not want or see his blessings that is when it becomes a curse. And the list goes on....................
Oh goody. Can hardly wait.
Well, if cost is the justification for sodomy marriage, then cost will be the end of sodomy marriage.
The long-term costs of this perversity, spiritually and medically, will counter and economic benefits seen in the short term.
Consider that 64% of all HIV/AIDs cases are among 4% of the population...men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM), according to the CDC, and the 64% number is rising as more and more children are experimented with by MSM. Quite a few of these 4% are not technically homosexual or even bisexual but simply were curious. 68% of male-to-female transgender sex workers were found to be HIV/AIDS positive in the city of Atlanta.
States that endorse sodomy marriage are forced to teach the school children that the perversity is acceptable and to be encouraged. The children, too, are encouraged to experiment with others to see if possibly they might like it. This is extremely dangerous activity.
The diseases are very numerous and would otherwise not exist, if it were not for the unnaturalness of the perverted and disordered acts. These diseases are hard to treat, very communicable, infectious and potentially deadly, extremely costly diseases.
The price we pay is spiritual, mostly, and for all future generations to come.
The price we will all pay physically and medically and economically, is as well deserved as it will be devastating.
half? get real.
nowhere have sodomites married in a state at a rate of 50%.
marriage is antithetical to the homo lifestyle. no strings attached anonymous sex,’anytime, anywhere, is what it’s all about.
homosexuality is opposite of monogamy. the homos know this.
