It's a step in the right direction though it will not end alimony or child support, but it will end taking 50% of a fortune and make personal contracts easier.
If it happens it will be a pre-emptive effort to evade being forced to grant marriage licenses to gay couples. It's a conservative knee-jerk "I'm gonna take my little red wagon and go home" maneuver. "You can't make me" is another one. Yawn. The wingnuts are stinkin' like a hot clutch. They're gonna do SOMETHING even if it's wrong.
Maybe that's their motivation, but they won't be able to do anything to civil unions, neither to churches willing to marry gay couples - which will turn out to be a lucrative business for those that do and all the businesses that come with it - so everyone would be treated equally under the law. I also noticed the deep hatred divide on both sides in this topic coming along with massive de-friending, so what's wrong with dividing the country into states/communities where positive government discrimination is interpreted differently than in other areas? The Amish have been doing that for a while now. It doesn't seem that people with opposing views are willing to live next to each other peacefully or without calling for government intervention anyways, so why not have both? According to the polls the anti-gay-marriage states would be clearly in the minority these days.

"How Mexico Quietly Legalized Same-Sex Marriage"
Same-sex couples have been getting married in Mexico since at least 2010, when Mexico City began officiating same-sex weddings. Now, same-sex couples will be able to get married at any city hall in Mexico, without needing to travel to the federal capital.
Same-sex couples have been getting married in Canada since at least 2005.
The June 26 decision by the Supreme Court brings unanimity to continental North America, though as thunderlips11 pointed out below, that leaves out some of the islands on the continental shelf.
