Second Massachusetts city to recognize polyamorous relationships [Massachusetts, where else?]

Cambridge, Massachusetts has redefined domestic partnerships to give relationships involving more than two people the same rights as a married couple.

Home to Harvard University, Cambridge is the second city in the state, after its neighbor Sommerville, legally to recognize polyamory.

During a March 8 meeting, the Cambridge city council voted to redefine “domestic partnerships,” which previously had been defined as two unmarried people living together.

The new definition broadens the definition to “two or more persons” not related by blood who “are in a relationship of mutual support, caring and commitment and intend to remain in such a relationship” and “consider themselves to be a family.”

The council also removed a requirement that those in a domestic partnership must live together, as well as a provision that those in a domestic partnership must submit evidence to the city of their relationship as a family.

The slippery slope has become a cliff. This will have to be recognized statewide, and soon, according to activists, nationwide.

Don’t say we didn’t tell you so.

Last paragraph:
“ The Cambridge legal change was drafted with the help of the Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition. The group is an outgrowth of the Harvard Law School LGBTQ+ Advocacy Clinic and is supported by the American Psychological Association.”

“Banned in Boston” is meaningless, and it has been for a long time.

For several years.

Soon it may be a crime to not let some faggot have his way with you.

Romans 1:18-32 says why people who are not homosexuals may rabidly promote them in society.

Banned in Boston doesn't refer to their conservatism, but rather a demand for strict adherence to their self defined orthodoxies. There is a strong strain of puritanism that remains in the culture

What if I own a cat and that cat is making a lot of money in tv commercials. Better yet, I have two cats. I make video of them and make a lot of money. What if I marry my two cats?

Even though social conservatism is not dead yet, the leftist stranglehold of the systems of law, education, media and mental health etc pretty much is evaporating the fabric of the nation.

So. At what point will seven people become ‘mates’ in order to get top notch health insurance coverage?

Where does a city get the legal power to do this?

What are the legal responsibilities and entanglements of the people involved in this relationship?

In a normal marriage there is community property, the right to provide insurance to your spouse through employer provided insurance, retirement pass through to a spouse, SS survivor pension and other things. How can these go to more than one individual?

Obviously, a city does not have the power to change these things.

Educated fools. Change the definition of marriage once and it can be changed to whatever leftard triangular arrangements they can devise.
Oh and thanks for the parking ticket for exceeding the 3 hour time limit while having tow away signs at every parking spot in sight. Or was it the NY plates on my rental vehicle while working in your Boston area community? Eff all you NE leftists.
