They'd rather live in sin than fill out a gender-neutral marriage license.
I had the privilege of officiating at a wedding right after equal marriage became legal in Massachusetts. Licenses now read "first party" and "second party," and AFAIK no one has challenged this. I can't see why anyone would object, since people wishing to marry can always flip a coin to see who is the first party and who is the second party. I also cannot see why this couple can't hop a plane, fly to Vegas, and be married by an Elvis impersonator if they're so upset at the "bride" (and her children from a previous marriage) not being on her "groom's" health insurance.
*pfft*
