New York City Makes $200K Off Marriage Equality | It seems that New York City has benefited financially from the passage of marriage equality in New York last July. The city’s revenue was nearly $200,000 higher ($2.26 million) during the first few months after the law took effect than it was during the same span of time the previous year ($2.07 million). The city does not specifically track the genders of marrying couples, but in the six months since the law took effect, there have been 41,967 marriage licenses issued, compared to 36,913 during the same window last year.
