> That's hilarious. Leaving the (almost entirely upper-middle-class) ivory tower of po-mo navel-gazing and self-righteousness, getting married actually makes a very significant difference to some of us in the real world. Hence my recommendation; it's not anti-marriage in the sense of commitment or benefits. And I don't think marriage is a fundamental right; even defining it satisfactorily casually (let alone legally) to married people is impossible. The concrete rights that matter are legal benefits, and those still exclude poly people and people wishing to grant rights to relative or non-humans. Gay marriage only included gay people. It is inherently a bigoted institution while it retains any emphasis on heteronormativity (now extended to gay people, who are honorarily heteronormative under the law) or religion (i.e. all the opposition to gay marriage).
