Wonder which states still require a blood test before marriage?
One year I drove through a town called Folkston, GA on the Florida border. Storefronts everywhere advertised “Blood Test Marriage License”. Seems in those days Florida license requirements were much stricter, & people flocked across the state line to get tested & legally married.
A girl I knew who became a Miami-based stewardess right out of high school got married at 21. Her local paper said the wedding took place in “Folktown, GA”. My pal from Macon looked at the announcement & laughed himself hoarse.
Anyway, same-sex parenting proves once again that we “have sown the wind and will reap the whirlwind”.

Those early blood tests were to determine if either had syphillus....nothing more.
Genetic tests would be pretty expensive...but may become necessary someday.
