I’m curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it’s infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out. I encourage you to join in, and you can skip any and every question if you so choose. You can view the results at the bottom of the page.

    I don’t think so? I’m struggling to think of how it would enhance human rights. Isn’t it the same as regular marriage without the trip to the local court? I always thought other countries had it as a penalty so that couples couldn’t use cohabitating but not getting married as a tax loophole.

      It’s a human rights issue because of things like property law, adoption, next of kin rights. Sometimes people (often women) can be left financially vulnerable, especially if children are involved, if their relationship is not recognised under the law.

      Couples don’t get tax advantages over single people where I live either, so that part’s a non issue.
