Gay
marriage is a very big issue in this country. Some people believe that same-sex
couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public
acknowledgement enjoyed by Heterosexual couples while other people believe that
gay marriage should be illegal.
Gay
marriage can bring financial gain to state and local government. To begin,
there is information that state that same-sex marriage can bring a lot of
financial gain to the state and government. According to procon.org, “Revenue
from gay marriage comes from marriage licenses, higher income taxes and
decreases in costs for state benefit programs,” which clearly explains that gay
marriage would decrease the amount of money the government pays for the income
tax for people. So gay marriage should be legal because it brings a lot of
money to the government.
