No ceremony, no fuss, we'd just like to be able to sign something to say that we are in a committed relationship legally. <br /><br />I know some people argue that a civil marriage is like that, but it's that word - 'marriage'. I don't want to get married.Put Up With Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02293737831040832903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648435619736920024.post-6083395508727217352013-06-14T17:17:43.166+01:002013-06-14T17:17:43.166+01:00Great post.

I'm also against tax breaks for couples for just being married.<br /><br />If we're going to have legal recognition of relationships that needs to be open to everyone regardless of gender. In fact I would go further and say I would like to see us find a way of recognising polyamorous relationships.<br /><br />Would you be interested in having your relationship recognised (e.g. through a civil partnership or something) if you could do so without "getting married", and thus avoiding the connotations that "marriage" brings?Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576353402282304284noreply@blogger.com
