Why not fuck the patriarchy by refusing marriage altogether? Who the hell needs the state to bind you together?
who the hell needs the state to bind you together
Anybody who needs to pay taxes or get child tax credits
Or make medical decisions for loved ones
This is the only worrisome thing imo.
Yeah, that's really big enough to make it worthwhile to me.
I dunno, my partner and I have always paid taxes. We've been together for 14 years and haven't had any tax issues. Child tax credit would suck to miss out on I guess, but we don't have kids so I guess that makes it easier.
Also fuck taxes.
There's a reason why gay marriage was such an important battle. Marriage is a legal contract that has numerous benefits including inheritance, right to decide care, visitation rights, and being eligible for benefits to name a few.
It's not just a " piece of paper that says we're in love." It's a huge fucking deal that offers legal protection for your partner and yourself.
Hip hip hooray for bureaucracy!
Honestly though, you oughta be able to just write it down on a notarized piece of paper without the state having any say in any of that.
