an icepick through the keyhole

You'll note that I never once implied that society will crumble if such a statute is passed into law. I would further note that an attempt to "stack the deck" would be to limit you to answers that only appeal to me yet I was attempting to clarify my inquisition as to the initial point, not to potentially non-germane cultures that might have at one time acknowledged religious constructs between same-gender couples. Granted, I know of no such cultures but then I would not have posed a query had I known for certain that none had existed.
