There will be no mad rush for these marriages because it is not marriage they are looking for. Rather, those suffering from and succumbing to SSAD require continual reaffirmation (from everyone) that what they are doing is o.k. because, interiorly, they recognize that something is wrong. Tara,

You have hit the nail exactly on the head. There will be no mad rush for these marriages because it is not marriage they are looking for.

Moreover, if same-sex persons bind themselves in any contract, IMHO, given the statistics of partner rotation, they may find themselves with more monetary debt in breaking such contracts--hmmm--maybe they should think about the long term consequences a bit more??? “We are, after all, committed to one another in a relationship of “reciprocal commitment of mutual support.”

If same-sex persons want to have a mutual and reciprocal commitment–go to a lawyer–fill out the paper work–bind yourselves in a legal contract–but don’t call it Marraige–because it’s not.

Moreover, if same-sex persons bind themselves in any contract, IMHO, given the statistics of partner rotation, they may find themselves with more monetary debt in breaking such contracts–hmmm–maybe they should think about the long term consequences a bit more???

The California statute was undercut by the California judiciary. This is a problem which we avoided in Wisconsin by passing a marriage-protection Amendment to the WIsconsin Constitution. There was a good deal of resistance to the Amendment specifically because of the "second sentence" thereof.
