taleya: (Pissed Off)

The more I think about it, the more pissed I am at the government definition of marriage. (moreso than usual)

The one that denies legitimate couples a basic fucking right.

The one that legally must be cited at my marriage as part of the ceremony.

On this, of all days, I am NOT going to pander to your stupid, senseless, arrogant bigotry. The more I think about it, the more pissed I get. At the moment I'm pretty damned well thermonuclear. By the time the actual ceremony rolls around I will be SETTING SHIT ON FIRE

I'd prefer something akin to "the union of two sapient beings defined and/or recognised as adults, or otherwise legally able to consent to said union".

Doesn't specify sex (physical, mental, or legal), doesn't specify that it has to be to the exclusion of all others, isn't limited to particular timeframes.

As an interesting side effect, it wouldn't actually prohibit multi-partner marriages, although they would be technically recorded on paper as a related set of two-person marriages. You could even have A married to B who was married to C, with A and C choosing whether or not to be married to each other or not, completely independently of anything else. A and C could even marry and then divorce without affecting their respective marriages to B.
