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.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 26 minutes ago

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.

Wow, MISSOURI did that???

MISSOURI??!??

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 9 points 4 hours ago

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

Checked if this was an Onion type article. So glad it isn't.

Bet Republicans are furious

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 21 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 13 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.
