Abolish the current legal institution of marriage and replace it with a more flexible system that allows both for groups of more than two people with the current rights of marriage and also significantly more fine grained legally recognised relations.

I'd call that a hardcore conservative position and base it on the mistake of basing marriage off religious practices instead of secular contract law and a violation of the establishment of a state religion.

Was aiming for supportive, but divergent base for same conclusion. Sorry if the tone missed.

No worries, I might just be a bit grumpy today so more prone to taking it as adversarial, sorry. On reflection I actually think you're right: My reasons for this position are highly progressive ones, but there are plenty of other political reasons to come to the same conclusion

It's certainly also a very libertarian position. I'm not sure I'd have considered it a conservative one exactly.

I sort of lump hardcore originalist readings of the constitution into conservative (small c) vs Conservative as a current political sphere, though the overlap of both and libertarian is pretty solid.

Ah, I'm not in the US, so I lump politics based on hardcore readings of the constitution as confusing rather than conservative.
