Some say it’s an act of love,
but at its base it’s a contractual agreement.
The truth lies in the fact
that marriage equality doesn’t exist,
while instutionalized discrimination
continues to persist.
So why does marriage somehow insinuate a better life? Promising basic necessities such as health care,
while neglecting equitable models,
of social welfare.
It perpetuates an idealistic illusion
of a nuclear family,
that thrives off capitalism,
And constructions of normality.
Heterosexuality hence thirsts
for profit and domination
and the suffering
of others’ subjective alienation.
It is therefore not a solution,
But a counterproductive,
governmental institution.
Rendering queer bodies invisible,
And sexist acts of violence
As permissible.
It’s regulation of sexuality
should no longer be accepted,
as we wake up to how marriage,
and systems of oppression,
are all interconnected.
