As a boy I wandered field and mountain, desert and ocean, forest and the icy reaches at the top and bottom of our world, and each place I found was another mystery waiting for me to discover. One day I found a silver doorway set into the side of a tall mountain. There were such detailed carvings of moons and planets and stars and all those things beyond our own small planet that I pulled the door open without hesitation, and within was the infinite apeirogon. I traveled the apeirogon on the back of a moonbeam I had rescued from the Land of Shadows. In time, I came to the Crystal Universe, and there I live to this day, writing of all I have seen.

Love the image and commentary. Like you, I really don't care one way or another. It just seems like a tempest in a tea pot as with so many other issues that come before the courts. Look at the "Under God" controversy same wrangling.

As with you, I think perhaps the institution of marriage is highly overrated and totally outdated! The only reason I can think marriage stands is because of the legality of taxes, medical benefits, other benefits and blah blah blah! I believe what needs to be done is set up a system where if two people, regardless of sex, race creed or whatever want to share their lives together, they make their intentions public and from that day forward they are one in the eyes of the law! Amen! I love the way you have worded this descriptive! It is music to my ears! You have nailed the problem squarely on the head and my hat is totally off to you!!!!!

Idk, I just imagine a world where same gender marriages is the norm and heteros are looked down upon and told that it is illegal to be togehter! Another case of numbers rule I guess! Live and let live!!!!

Fantastic setting and character, love the story. I don't know about the Game of Thrones, don't watch it, but it does sound like the US, names changed to protect the criminals and innocents, as for as same sex couples, it doesn't bother me, if two people love each other they should be allowed to get married, I wonder how this would work under Common Law Marriages, which many states have, ie, if a man and woman lives together for lets say five years they are married, it doesn't mention having sex, just living together, thus, two men or two women living together for the same amount of time are then married by many state laws.

The whole Arkansas thing is certainly confusing! We were just there a few weeks ago, and Bill ordered a margarita with his meal in a nice Mexican restaurant. Nope! They didn't serve alcohol. It was a dry county. !!

Brilliant! If two people want to get married, that's their business. Male/Female pairings don't seem to be all that successful from what I've seen so why not let the same gender couples have a go of it. My brother-in-law was finally able to marry his partner of 22 years in January. They have outlasted three of his brothers' marriages almost combined!
