Jason Sorens hails an historic bill to privatize marriage in New Hampshire:

To my knowledge, HB 569
is the first bill ever drafted and introduced in a legislature that
would abolish government marriage licensing. The bill is the brainchild
of libertarian Republican members of the New Hampshire state house.
Currently, New Hampshire has same-sex marriage, but with the current
Republican supermajority in both houses of the legislature, that policy
is in serious jeopardy.

[…]

…Democrats are insisting that the bill “abolishes marriage,” because it
calls two-person unions “domestic unions” in the statutes. But since
when did people define their marriage according to statute anyway?

All this suggests an unintended but virtuous spiral of liberty.  Step 1: The law recognizes the right of gays to marry.  Step 2: Rancorous culture war.  Step 3: America privatizes marriage out of sheer exhaustion.

I’m hardly willing to bet on this scenario at even odds, but should I take 10:1 by 2030?
