If you would have asked 50 years ago what would happen first, state recognized “gay marriage” or polygamy, I bet not one in a hundred would have said “gay marriage.” It really is bizarre.
“The government sanctioned marriage license will fade away and it will be a religious ceremony and that’s it.”
That’s pretty much what I think will happen too. It’s just a shame the state has the power to punish if one doesn’t buy into their ever devolving take on marriage.

Long ago all marriage was a religious ceremony, and then at some time legal marriage was brought forth to establish inheritance (even now the law says if you are married when a child is born, the child belongs to the father - period), then marriage evolved for tax issues.
I suppose one could argue that marriage should have never been part of a government arrangement or preview.
If the tax laws eliminated marriage as a tax issue, and people were taxed on their own income, what sort of change would happen? Just questions, give me a glass of wine and I ask....;-)
