In what way would this economically damage San Francisco? I thought married couples payed *less* tax than unmarried, so in some sense it could be economically beneficial. Or does San Francisco have major marriage tourism which might be affected?
Of course, this might provide an interesting way to get married to two people (one in San francisco and one outside) for the polys among us.
Meanwhile, a question occurs to me... What is the sexual status of transgendered people in the US? Are they deemed to remain their pre-op sex, which is the case in the UK >spit< or to be their new sex? How does this affect marriage post-op?
More and more this whole thing indicates that governments have no place in defining who is whose partner.
