Everyone should get more educated before posting shit in the internet

ironically disabled ppl actually lose benefits with a marriage license and thats another form of marriage inequality

Queer people calling same sex marriage heteronormative has got to be one of the most insidious psyops I’ve seen on social media so far because do yall think we spent decades campaigning for the right to marry just for the sake of cosplaying as straight people?

maybe you should just be able to get that without marriage 🧠🧠

yeah those laws are also enforcing heteronormativity bruh do you remember gay marriage being a massive issue like 2 seconds ago? this only reinforces the OPs point that we live in a society that enforces marriage as a heteronormative standard for life

This is a conversation of media portrayal though, not literal marriage? Unless I’m misreading it, I don’t think the take that our marriage system is built upon heteronormative, able bodied, and gendered ideals is controversial. This person isn’t arguing against marriage equality

This problem could be solved forever if you got rid of the heteronormative marriage idea and made the benefits of marriage each their own separate thing you can set up with whomever you want.

Great argument as to why we should abolish marriage

I think a lot about the stories some queer ppl have told where their partner was in the hospital and they’re denied access. Or when they passed and the family tht they were NC w/ takes over everything n leaves them out. It’s sad

This is why the institution of marriage is criticized. So much of your individual rights shouldn’t hinge upon being married to someone.

hey I wonder if these things should be possible without conforming to one specific model of relationship

Did you seriously see a post about how marriage is often propagated as an inevitable life goal and the ultimate legitimization of a relationship and rebut that by bringing up the privileges attached to marriage historically to delegitimize “nontraditional” relationships

they sound like those “wow 50’s housewives really had it made, now we have to WORK everyday and we fought to be able to do this??” idiots like do they hear themselves when they speak or no?

They're not talking about the LAW when they call it "just a piece of paper" (which is designed to enforce traditional societal hierarchies) they are talking about a relationship being seen as complete or legitimate.

Take your own advice bro, why are all of these things tied to marriage?? You're trying to pull a "gotcha" but this video kind of just reinforces the fact that marriage as an institution is a heteronormative social construct originally based on a patriarchal religion.

Maybe we should be fighting to make it so marriage isn’t the path for getting those rights, not just trying to add outselves into that fucked up system

i think if people love each other and they want a cute wedding they should be allowed to get married :)

I mean, you could also aspire to put these things into place without requiring that piece of paper, just because the government wants to control who, where and when you are allowed to love.

the tweet that ur quoting has literally nothing to do with this tik tok that u replied with. two separate points.

ALSO ESTATE PLANNING IS IMPORTANT EVEN IF YOU ARE MARRIED

right coz i was worried about the tax benefits of characters from tv shows??

Marriage and weddings are related but not at all identical concepts, your point(s) and those of the person you’re quote tweeting aren’t incompatible.

this is an argument in favor of marriage abolition

Learnt how marrige matters when i had to call and then go to the police They refused to tell me ANYTHING or even let me into the building untill i proved im legally wife Legalizing gay marrige is insanely important

youre a piece of paper

It’s an institution failure that family policy is based on nuclear family marriage despite that label not fitting every family

@nichebin I think the og point about constantly ending shows with a wedding sure, might have some merit, and if we’re making points about heteronormative weddings, again that’s something to talk about, but saying queer marriage as a whole is heteronormative? Idk
