Great piece. Too polite to point out that the problem with marriage in all its forms is religion. Religion has ever spiritually justified  the subjugation of women inside property rights through marriage and promoted the ownership of them sexually. Religion has always demonized sexuality instead of sexual jealousy so has entrenched monogamy as next to godliness. It decided a cosmic creator loathes LGBTQ and thinks it knows best on matters of marriage, as well as women's reproductive choice and sexual activities outside of holy matrimony. So, so tiresome, this vestigial nonsense from centuries ago. I love that signs are everywhere to change relationship traditions.  Help women first on this file then men. Exciting days.
