Idk what this is specifically in response to, if anything, but the history behind this is super interesting. People's reasonings range from thinking gay people shouldn't engage in homophobic institutions (& that marriage is inherently a homophobic institution), that marriage doesn't work for anyone so we shouldn't invest in it, and/or that gay marriage shouldn't be a priority compared to ensuring other rights & focusing resources on that actually takes away from more important community needs

But the thing is that there are people on the far right and center left who think that gay marriage is should be abolished.

I think marriage as a whole should be reworked and or abolished. But that doesn’t mean I’m against gay marriage, I just don’t like the system ya know? I took a class where this subject came up and the queer people in that class had roughly the same take on it. It was a good discussion.
