Yes, in a limited capacity. I was hired to help dissolve (by agreement) a lesbian household in Stillwater, OK. It basically never went anywhere though. In Oklahoma, were I hired on to one of these as a contested action, I'd treat it as a partnership and apply the same law to dissolving the "marriage" as I would to the dissolution of a for-profit partnership. On paper at least, it seems to be a viable theory.

I'm not even sure if insurance companies would suffer, since most gay households are dual-income and, it stands to reason, are insured individually. We didn't hear anything from the insurance lobby in NYS so they might not even be impacted negatively.

That's the only non-religious reason I could cook up. Like you, I'm without much of an answer as to who is harmed here. But the religious folks seem willing to spend massive amounts of money on this fight.
