Of course, the state will give up a little revenue from the licensing fee.
Yeah, the plan all along was to “destroy”, not broaden, the definition of marriage.
Might as well go all the way and eliminate the word ‘Marriage’ from the term, and just call it ‘Partnership Contract’.
The only original reason for licensing was to impose obligations (child support, alimony,) and protect future born (blood tests). It was never about conferring rights.
Why don’t they just pass a special bill that applies only to unions between persons of the same sex and leave the laws pertaining to marriage men and women intact?
That’s another option. But what about the normal, sane people who aren’t degenerate faggots and just want to get married? I’m guessing go to Vegas.
The extreme minority of the 2% of the population that represent the sick weirdos that lust for unnatural sex have now overturned the long standing and socially functional laws which worked for the remaining 98% of the population.
The Tail wags the Dog.
This move is futile.
The only solution is divorce from the whore (federal government).
Good. Marriage was and is a religious sacrament and the state should not be involved. If the state wants to issue a civil contract to those who feel they need it, fine but it has no business being involved in marriage.
Yeah. Leave the Holy unions to the churches and give the others some kind of paperwork so they'll get the benifits from it.
I think this is a pretty fair idea.
See proclamation of banns.
I love it!
If the feds want to control marriage, let them start issuing licenses. Get the states and counties out of the marriage business.
Best answer award! The queers can’t stomp they little feet and insist on something that doesn’t exist.
which destroys all tax planning
utterly fails to address children (or worse makes them all accessories as the left wants)
totally rewrites inheritance laws.
opens the door WIDE for rampant fraud and criminal conduct.
Finally. Why should anyone have to buy a “license” to get married? It is none of the States business.
Period.

How does this change anything?
Just as in 1760, 1860, 1960, and today, either a marriage will be recognized by law, or it won’t.
There has never been a time in America where you were forced to seek to make your marriage “legal”, if you didn’t want to.

The Left sets out to destroy the crucial institution of marriage and the Republicans respond with a plan to finish it off.
