Study: Same-Sex Marriage Generated $3.8B In The U.S. Over 5 Years

Since the 2015 US Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage, nearly 300,000 same-sex couples have married, generating $3.8 billion in revenue for local and state businesses. Despite costing $4,000 less on average than heterosexual weddings, same-sex weddings have supported around 45,000 jobs. The economic impact is based on factors like out-of-state guests and direct wedding spending.
