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

Where is the loop hole? Emancipation?

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

Still allowed in a lot of US states

The year is 2025.......

And America is still this ass backwards.

Least some good news for once.

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

I really hate Americans. Every single patriotic us thing just makes me retch. They are the worst creatures on this planet with some unfounded god complex and silly strong men culture that just doesn’t want to die

The most American series I watched recently - 1923. Jesus I barely made through this shit because my mother had birthday and she likes it for some unfathomable reason.

I have a feeling that this tv series perfectly encapsulates the murica mindset and I cannot hate it enough. The showrunner guy is somehow impervious to any criticism some kind of local macho god for some reason even though the show is coming apart at the seams under the shallow cover of superficial sentimental bs.

You guys should totally isolate on this continent of yours and don’t leave it at all. No one wants you.

Unfortunately, America doesn't work as a project without endless territorial expansion. So we're happy to close our borders, but we're never going to stop demanding your tribute on pain of getting hit with our bombs.

This is really mean so I'm reporting it please talk to an adult about this, it's not a good way to view other people
