I don't get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

Abolish Marriage.

We don’t need the state or religious authorities dictating our relationships.

Need to do something for stuff like inheritance and visitation rights that's currently coupled (pun intended) to marriage.

Well in my ideal view we would abolish the state and abolish capitalism, so those things aren’t too much of an issue.

That would solve many problems, but stuff like "Who gets to visit you in the hospital?" and "who gets your personal belongings when you expire?" might need some thought. There are likely easy to solve, but still require some thought.

That's the role of the de facto union. But the civil union usually grants you special conditions, along with your spouse.

Wow, MISSOURI did that???

MISSOURI??!??

I'm thinking the tipping point has been reached, the pendulum is now moving away from conservatism, and we'll see little upsets like this as rural states begin to shift back. Missouri is facing a hell of a medicaid cut which they can't afford, that may ripple for a while.

Unfortunately they have short memory spans but eventually they'll flip for a generation, like the New Deal era. People will just give up on MAGA and go the other way.

Republican men are probably throwing a fit that they won’t be able to legally groom and rape children for “family values” anymore

Well, glad I married off my daughter at 14 last year. Knew that was a good decision

[–] [email protected] 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My other wives are very happy with their new sister-wife, thank you for your spawn. The dowry is in the mail.
