D.C. Is In For A Whole Lot of Same-Sex Weddings

Thanks to the Economist for crunching the numbers on just how significant the legalization of same-sex marriage was for Washington, D.C. Of jurisdictions that currently allow gay marriage (or recognize out-of-state gay marriages, or grant equal rights to gay partnerships), the District of Columbia has the highest percentage of same-sex households by far. In other words, D.C. is likely in for a whole lot of weddings [via Queerty].

    I like to call this "how Gay marriage saved America (or at least DC)" in which, the Wedding-Industrial complex receives a huge bump (millions and millions of dollars) from all the additional celebrations that will occur.

    Yay! Gay marriage is both fair AND economically smart!
