latest evidence comes courtesy of Somerville, Massachusetts, where city leaders last week unanimously approved an ordinance that permits more than one domestic partner.
In other words, Somerville now recognizes polyamorous (or consensual non-monogamous) couplings, granting them rights similar to married couples.Certainly, in some circumstances, domestic partnerships can help unmarried couples visit hospitalized loved ones or obtain health insurance benefits.
Passing such ordinances is nothing new, even though the number of partners one can now have in Somerville is.But this news shouldn't come as a surprise.
The rejection of monogamy within marriage has long been identified as the next port in the journey of society's trend toward sexual.
