Senate Joint Resolution 53 (SJR 53) would amend Wisconsin's constitution to specify that only a marriage between one man and one woman would be recognized by the state. It would not prohibit state or local governments or a private entity from setting up a legal construct to provide privileges or benefits such as health insurance benefits, pension benefits, joint tax return filing or
hospital visitation to same-sex or unmarried couples.
It says that a private business cannot freely recognize a same sex, or unmarried heterosexual couple cannot have benifits. It is not just legislating what the government can do, but everyone.
It also makes domestic violence a simple assault, even among heterosexual couples, if they are unmarried and living together.
