NY marriage equality boosted revenue

Numbers have come in showing recent revenue for the state of New York’s marriage bureau, and in the shocker of the century (not), the bureau made a lot more money after the state legalized marriage equality. From the NY Post:

Total revenue to the city’s marriage bureau jumped from $2.07 million from August through December 2010, to $2.26 million in the same period last year, after same-sex nuptials went into effect, according the City Clerk’s Office.

Okay, friends. Joke about gay bridal registries all you want, but you can’t argue with these numbers. Equality is good for the economy. (And, you know, it’s the right thing to do. But that’s not enough of an argument for some.)
