The future of marriage once gays get their way
Dr Jagose believes that no relationship deserves special privileges and that almost any “alternative intimacies” are valid: “Unmarried mothers, for instance; adulterers; the devotedly promiscuous; sex workers; the divorced; the bigamous and polygamous; those who are not strangers to the august traditions of the dirty weekend or the one-night stand; single people.”
It’s hard to find a clearer confirmation of the worst fears of opponents of same-sex marriage than Dr Jagose’s memo to Australian gays and lesbians.
