Even when the Supremes say all states have to pretend that these same sex hook ups are marriages, that will not change reality. Whether states give a legal status to these pairings or not, they are not real marriages and never will be. I suspect decent people will lose this battle, and that the loss will not give the far left what they think they want. [Note: I suspect it is better not to articulate why that is true, or the anti-freedom left will target that aspect of freedom too.]

I also suspect that once these same sex "marriages" lose their novelty, few same sex couples will bother pretending that they are getting married. Weddings are too expensive for a whim, and legal marriages are too expensive to end with divorce for them to bother getting officially married if there is little or no chance of any given fling lasting more than a few years.

...you are not taking estate tax ramifications into account...that’s what kickstarted the push for homo marriage into super high gear...

...can’t get the estate tax free without being a spouse in a lot of states...
