Bates , Karen J. "Same-Sex Ruling Drives Wedding Business in California." National Public Radio 10 June 2008. Rpt. in Morning Edition.
This four-minute segment describes how same-sex marriage rights in California are now driving the wedding industry. Basically, an incredible influx of people have entered the market to get married now that it is legal. The article explores how the decision has affected even the smallest details: for instance, couples can now buy cake-toppers in non-traditional formats. This story could be well-localized if a reporter were to talk to local businesses about how many same-sex union ceremonies they encounter. The show also offers interesting statistics from UCLA's law school that claim that same-sex unions could add $684 million to the state's annual budget.
