Judges in Massachusetts and California have overruled the legislatures and people to impose their personal preference that marriage be any permanent relationship (including same-s*x coupling) rather than a permanent mating relationship of one man and one woman.
Of course, men and women will continue to mate, and they have the options of hooking up and cohabitation competing with marriage. Given the newly degraded status of marriage as on par with same-s*x coupling, will this affect the decision of mating couples about whether or not to establish the permanent mating relationship of marriage?
