Surprise, surprise - marriage equality would benefit Washington's economy

gaywrites:

You know how people joke that gay weddings will save the economy? That’s becoming less of a joke every day. 

The Williams Institute released a report Friday showing that legalizing marriage equality in Washington would add $88 million to the state’s economy in the first three years. The numbers are based on calculations of average wedding expenditures and consider the amount of money that would potentially be spent on wedding arrangements and tourism. 

Why aren’t more people paying attention to this? For those who don’t see equality as a good enough reason, doesn’t this kind of seal the deal?
