Marriage boycott

or,

Why We Refuse to Get Married

by Woozle

• Until marriage is available to everyone, it discriminates unfairly against anyone who doesn't fit the standard model.
  • I'm gender dysphoric, so if all were right with my little world I wouldn't be allowed to marry under current laws anyway.
• The laws surrounding marriage aren't designed for our relationship; we don't have sex and aren't planning children, which are two of the main assumptions that go into marriage.
• Entering into marriage would mean signing a contract where:
  • we don't get to read all the applicable rules before signing (much less set them ourselves)
  • the terms change from state to state
  • the rules can be changed over time, without our consent

We are not the only "couple" boycotting marriage; see issuepedia:marriage boycott.
