San Francisco's tourist industry is betting that gay marriage will lead to a boon in same-sex wedding and honeymoon packages.
Nationally, gay tourism amounts to a $60 billion-a-year industry. Thanks to Thursday's ruling by the state Supreme Court striking down the ban on same-sex marriage, California stands to become a destination spot for gay and lesbian couples from around the world who want to get hitched.
And San Francisco is hoping for the biggest slice of the wedding cake.
