Counting on Couples: Fiscal Savings from Allowing Same Sex Couples to Marry in Connecticut
Institute for Gay and Lesbian Strategic Studies and the Williams Project of University of California Law School, 2005
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.
