Get your kink on: Do what you want this weekend and don’t let bureaucracy get in the way
…”Then there’s a story about the polyamorous community — people who are committed to multiple partners. “Polyamorists like Stephane and Samantha want to be accepted by mainstream society in the way gays and lesbians have been accepted.”
What does this mean? It’s not like they’re being persecuted. The editor’s intro suggests, “The dream, I suppose, would be a government form on which you could define your relationship with a choice of boxes: Married/ common law, single or poly.”
Again: Get your kink on, do what you want. But with talk like this, will we have to create a Ministry for Polyamorous Peoples, an amendment to the charter, special tax exemptions?
Geez people, just live your life. Stop trying to paint yourself as a neglected special interest group.“….
Now if the bureaucracy that already has slots ready to label, tag and categorize you can grow up and stop being a moral chastizer and disciplinarian then maybe a greater portion of the population will come out of their fetish closets without feeling like they’re persecuted. The system is so interested and deems it so vital to label everyone so it knows how to deal with reward & consequences depending on individual behaviour. This is a very sophisticated system that didn’t just pop up in the last few years with smartphones. However smartphones have tipped the scales in favour of the antagonizer.
Until we have little boxes on government forms and are assured appropriate respect, security and dignity divulging personal information, we have a long yellow brick road ahead of us before people are more open and willing to stick out their necks publicly. Especially with the older generations and baby boomers that are definitely in deep dark huge closets. The younger generation are making inroads with live and let live attitudes.
