The Christian right is coming for divorce next
Some conservatives want to make it a lot harder to dissolve a marriage.
You're viewing a single thread.
The solution is simple, as it is for gay marriage. Marriage is not recognized by the state/government.
Yep. At the very least, just make everything a civil union that any two consenting adults can enter into. Religious people can still get "married", it just has nothing to do with the government.
What? And take away the ability to piss on people?
Hey man. What you and your civil partner do in private is up to you.
Until Russia gets a copy of it and you try to run for president and expect to have free will.
I'm sure there will still be plenty of eager consenting adults that we can all piss on.
Why limit it to two? I say allow any amount of people in a civil union, or allow one person to have a civil union with multiple people separately. It's mostly for visits in the hospital, parental rights, stuff like that.
Of course, that makes residence/citizenship based on relationships complicated, but that's mostly an issue caused by closed national borders being a fucked up concept in the first place.
I don't disagree, that's just a much more involved change. I was just suggesting the bare minimum that would be relatively simple to implement.
Maybe they should make it super bureaucratic and you have to pay to renew your civil union every 7 years, otherwise it dissolves.
