Swamped

The Associated Press notes that a law recognizing brideless "marriages" and groomless "marriages" performed/certified elsewhere has gone into effect in the USA's District of Columbia.

Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire are the six states with neutered marriage licensing. The 44 other states and the various territories license bride+groom unions as marriage. Most, if not all, have either a constitutional amendment or a statute law recognizing that marriage unites the sexes - such as the most populous state, California, which has a constitutional amendment. Also, federal law explicity recognizes that marriage unites the sexes.

So far, no state has neutered their marriage licensing by a direct vote of the people. Most that have neutered their marriage licensing have done so as a result of court usurpation of power.
