hen St. Louis county made gay marriage legal, it didn't even really register on the needle. The big article proclaiming the change included the tidbit that four whole couples in St. Louis had gotten married in the first weekend.

You have to be residents to do so in St. Louis county. So if you lived elsewhere you couldn't just go there. Also the state still doesn't allow it.

It would absolutely go up if legalized nationwide. Similar situation to medical marijuana legalization in some states. The numbers would be a lot higher if legalized nationwide.

I think gay people like the idea of getting married more than they like getting married. They like the conference of legitimacy of society upon their relationships. They're not as crazy about the "confines" of the structure.

I'd rather people figure out their relationship before getting married. That would drive down divorce rates. Strait, Gay, Whatever, I wish more couples would fully explore marriage before actually doing so.
