Of course, one wonders if it was unintentional, at all.
The Constitutional Amendment in question reads, "Marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State."
A domestic legal union is not valid between a man and a woman, unless that union is a marriage. No male/female domestic partnerships. There's no guarantee that a non-spouse can benefit from a bequest in your will. You can not get protection against domestic violence unless you are married.
