Correction. I believe it will pass.
But you did vote against it?
If it passes, then smart Heterosexuals will forgo having the state sanction their union, get powers of attorney, and have a clergyman seal the deal before god. It’d be great revenge on the state, denying them the elevated tax brackets that married couples give them.
Additionally, if one was willing to suck up a little embarassment, one could “state marry” the parent of their actual religiously wed spouse and that way when the parent kicked off they could recieve the estate of the parent free and clear as a “surviving spouse” rather than being porked by the state for up to half of the deceaseds hard earned wealth.
That may sound stupid, but if your estate is worth more than 2 or 3 million bucks it’s a damn good idea for keeping the money out of the hands of crooks...
