I believe in open marriage. It has worked for me for years. In my current situation, I have been in an open marriage for 10 years (maybe longer, she's the one that keeps track).
Do I believe we, LGBT people deserve the right to get married? Absolutely. However, is this our only rallying cry in the LGBT community, because it kind of seems like it is. Housing discrimination, job discrimination, bullying of LGBT kids or perceived LGBT kids, hate crimes---seem to me MUCH bigger issues in which to rally our community around. Rope-- |

Equality is important, human dignity is imperative, but what other issue has brought our struggles to this point? We have to fight the battles as they come (in my opinion), and after marriage we go for something else...because we are seen as "equal" in one way, it will be harder to justify continued inequality in housing, jobs, etc.... |
