Gay Marriage is back in the news...
...and I have been sucked into the politics of it all again. As I enter the second half of the 21st year of my commitment to my partner, I can reflect on our past 4 ceremonies of marriage, but let me make it absolutely clear: We have disavowed marriage. Marriage is a dirty word. Marriage as an institution is broken and should no longer be held as a goal for same-sex couples.
Last year, for our 20th anniversary, we threw away our "wedding" rings, and began wearing our collars as a symbol of our COMMITMENT. I urge all couples, same-sex or opposite sex, to turn away from the political and legal institution of marriage and return to the practice of COMMITMENT ceremonies. A COMMITMENT ceremony is one that you create for yourself; it is only important to you and to those that you choose to share it with. And it is much more meaningful and powerful than anything some government can give you. Anarchy is the only way to true freedom.
Advocate marriage for NO ONE. A return to true morality can only be accomplished by denying those who wish to control morality anything to control.
