Almost like the equivalent of adoption criteria.

Who would have to be shown to provide for it? What happens in case of traumatic circumstances?

I'm beyond pro-polyamory, I just don't think it's legally possible the way that the government uses marriage as a social/legal/financial structure. It's totally possible outside of that realm.

I agree.

As long as government is in bed with marriage, I don't think any of the slippery slopes can truly come to fruition.

Which is why prop 8 was overturn, and I doubt it will be re-established.

If there were no governmental/private financial advantages to marriage, this would not even be an issue on both sides.
