This may be more of a financial arrangement than a romantic life partner sort of arrangement.



Still illegal!!

I know a few like that too. I used to date a woman that was a real Wacko. More like a FWB. She was upset with herself for not being more attracted to other women in a more intimate way She viewed the ultimate Feminist as being someone who was equally attracted to men and women

And yes nothing is absolutely right or wrong, thats why we have courts to determine whether any single case that may breach law is in fact a crime.

Seems like one whacked parent-child relationship that shows no trend towards this being commonplace. It’s just a shock story really, typical of nypost

Well I don't need a law or court to decide for me what is right and wrong, and anything besides hetero marriage is wrong.

Nope you don't need a court to decide whats right or wrong for yourself. However you don't have the right to decide that for others.

You might think killing someone in self-defense isn't wrong, someone else will. Should their beliefs determine your actions? Should we make any act of killing another person a capital offense? If not then we're on the same page. Context is critical and personal beliefs shouldn't dictate what is or is not legal.

Yeah true but redefining marriage was basically made force of law and dictated on the personal belief of one more justice. If a law is wrong then it's wrong and I don't have to agree or support it or anyone responsible for its existence.
