To whom it may concern:
I am doing a persuasive/research paper for my Enc 1101 class on gay
marriage. This means that I need to look at it from every angle, good or
bad, pick a side and present that side. I found this wonderful and
educational website that had at least thirteen reasons for both sides of gay
marriage. On the pro side, reason five states, "Gay marriages can
bring financial gain to state and local governments. Revenue from gay marriage
comes from marriage licenses, higher income taxes (the so-called "marriage
penalty"), and decreases in costs for state benefit programs. The
Comptroller for New York City found that legalizing gay marriage would bring
$142 million to the city's economy and $184 million to the state's economy over
three years." My question is: is this true? If this is true, why?
