UCLA Headlines
June 1, 2009

The Massachusetts Republican reported Saturday on a study by the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy examining the economic impact of gay marriage on Massachusetts, which legalized same-sex unions in 2004. M.V. Lee Badgett, visiting professor at the law school and research director of the institute, and Gary Gates, a senior research fellow at the institute, were quoted.
