1/1/2005, Institute for Gay and Lesbian Strategic Studies and the Williams Project of University of California Law School
This study examines real-life and hypothetical same-sex couples, including a real-life couple from Waterbury, Conn., and uses income and other financial data to calculate how the ability to marry would benefit the couples over a lifetime. It finds that same-sex marriage and civil unions will not only benefit same sex couples in the state, but also the state budget.
