“A Massachusetts city will become the first in the country to recognize polyamorous relationships, as part of a larger domestic partnership ordinance” reports Jezebel.
“According to CNN, the city council of Somerville, Massachusetts, voted last week on an ordinance as a means of helping unmarried residents visit their partners in the hospital if they’re sick with coronavirus. Ahead of the meeting, it was suggested that the ordinance should also include partnerships of more than two people. Partners would not be required to live together or inform the city of a change of address.”
“The news has predictably inflamed conservative media, who are blaming the ordinance on the evils of gay marriage. Because once you’ve allowed loved ones not bound under the wrathful eye of god to visit you in the hospital, it’s only a matter of time before we’re in relationships with our phone chargers, or whatever.”
