(CNSNews.com) - A University of California study says a bill allowing same-sex couples to marry in California would be good for the state's bottom line.
The study estimates the state of California stands to gain up to $25-million in additional sales tax revenue each year if AB 1967 becomes law.
"This study makes it clear that equal protection is not only the right thing to do morally, but also fiscally," said Geoffrey Kors, Executive Director of Equality California, a homosexual advocacy group.
"By passing this bill, the legislature could avoid onerous proposed budget cuts in education and health programs. The Assembly Appropriations Committee cannot in good conscience let this bill die when it could do enormous good for families and for the economy," Kors said in a press release.
