  • Oh for sure, it’s incredibly frustrating, even more so since realistically no one is really fighting for poly marriage recognition outside a couple east coast towns. That’s great and all, but isn’t perfect by a long shot. I’ve toyed with reporting myself for polygamy (well technically it would be bigamy stauetorally) and trying to get it overturned that way, though looking through case law and the like I don’t really see a way that would work. And there aren’t enough of us to really easily get it on the ballot I don’t think.


  • Why would marriage be an issue? It’s convenient for purposes of healthcare coverage, hospital visitation rights, guarantees that without a will stating otherwise your spouse makes all decisions regarding the disposal of your corpse, and they automatically inherit any wealth you have, and if you have military benefits in many cases marriage is required to transfer those, or have them automatically transfer on death.

    I’m not monogamous, neither is my spouse, but we are married because of all the above reasons. Marriage isn’t about love and monogamy it’s about financial and death planning
