Finally!
May 1st, 2009Starting today, the genders of two partners is not important for marriage in Sweden and the first same-gender marriage subsequently happened this morning [1]. The next step is to kill the arbitrary idea that marriage is binary, but this is, I think, only a temporary solution and mostly an effort to dilute the marriage concept to make finally it useless. The end goal must be to remove marriage — the concept is rather arbitrary in and of itself. Naturally, I don’t mind people marrying, I just find the concept superfluous and mostly only justifiable from a tradition standpoint — an line of argument that, if it was valid, could also be used to exclude gay marriage.
