Here is an interesting article on the impact it's having on the economy. It was deleted, which confuses me because it's directly tied to what this forum is all about, so, that must have been a mistake on their part (no worries, I'll repost it):

It'll be interesting to see what this ruling does for Utah's economy. I could see it further opening the state, and city, to outsiders, bringing about a large amount of economic growth and development associated with that growth.

For sure. Being the only conservative state in the nation (and very conservative, at that) with legalized same-sex marriage will prove to be a boon, I think. Although one must consider, of course, that in several years marriage equality will become the norm and that competitive advantage will be negated. But for now, we are the most business-friendly state that allows gay marriage—bar none.
