We recently legalized ersatz marriage here in WA, but a little snippet from the law automatically converts the status people in current domestic partnerships (which we had prior to full on marriage redefinition, after being repeatedly reassured it was not a slippery slope to marriage redefinition
) to full on marriage. What was that Heinlein quote about people getting what they voted for good and hard...
"(3)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, any state registered domestic partnership in which the parties are the same sex, and neither party is sixty-two years of age or older, that has not been dissolved or converted into a marriage by the parties by June 30, 2014, is automatically merged into a marriage and is deemed a marriage as of June 30, 2014."
