Equal marriage is typically viewed as a negative aspect of society. However there are benefits to society from equal marriage. For example it promotes equality and non-discrimination in society. The legalization of equal marriage was a very important step in reducing homophobia in our country. This law showed the people of the United States that LGBT are also people.
With the legalization of same-sex marriage the marriage industry is making more money than ever before. Nearly $260 million was injected into the New York City economy the year after gay marriage was legalized. Even large businesses recognize the importance of recognizing gay marriage in order to retain more LGBT staff and customers. This also helps businesses become more lucrative, over-all helping the economy.
