Great! How wil it help the MD economy?
The most immediate benefit for the economy would be for the wedding industry. Now the weddings take place in areas where it is legal (DC, Mass.) and the money is spent there.
This also will make Maryland a more attractive place to live and attract a higher educated, higher income group. Many of the high tech companies gravitate to areas that are leaders in civil rights. For example Microsoft in Seattle,Intel Boston.
This has been a situation in Pittsburgh for years with Carnegie Mellon graduates, some of the brightest in the world, leave after graduation for more gay friendly areas.
