It's certainly more far-reaching than many who voted for it realize, but it doesn't (and couldn't) ban anyone living with anyone else.

What it could do (depending on court rulings) is keep that relationship from being recognized as anything more than cohabitation (two people who happen to live in the same residence without any formal relationship).
