Project 515, a gay rights advocacy group, has started an online directory of businesses that want to get their names in front of gay couples. By Wednesday the site had 314 entries.
“We knew the demand was there, but when we hit that 300 benchmark last week, we knew we had really hit on something,” said Eric Jensen, a spokesman for the group.
Of Minnesota’s 10,207 same-sex couples, about half will be married in the first three years, according to the Williams Institute, a think tank at UCLA’s law school focused on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. About 3,100 of those marriages are likely to occur in the first 12 months, causing roughly a 10 percent increase in marriages statewide.
The think tank predicts that people will spend about $42 million on same-sex weddings in Minnesota over the next three years.
