And that's just NOT TRUE for many of us in the queer community. Some of us fell in love with someone of a similar gender after YEARS of love with someone of a different gender Some of us realized our own gender identity after DECADES of life in another gender identity.

AND Some of us went back to loving people of a different gender after some time with a partner of a similar gender. Are we traitors? And some of us moved on in our gender transition. Moved on towards a gender more aligned with our gender assigned at birth. Are we traitors?

And so where does that leave us? Where are we in the conversation around immutability?

The answer is unclear, because, as I said up top, the greater Left and even the LGBT advocacy establishment lack a clear narrative around fluidity. And the Right knows this. And capitalizes on it. And here we have Milo, crawling back on to ANY STAGE he can find.

I think you'll probably hate this, but I see bisexual and gender fluid people as free riders- the rights are necessary for people who don't experience fluidity, and the people who do are able to, happily, benefit.

I'm not sure I understand this point- are you using bisexual to mean bi people in het relationships?

I mean someone who could, theoretically, choose to limit their marriage options to opposite-sex people out of the people they're attracted to.

And, to be clear: I DO NOT THINK ANYONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO SO. I just think it's okay for those people to gain access to same-sex marriage as a side effect of protections for people who cannot experience to sexual attraction to the opposite sex throughout their lifetime.

Bc, practically speaking, there's plenty of people who cannot experience sexual attraction to the opposite sex, and plenty whose cross sex identification begins young and does not change throughout their lifetime. More than enough to justify this immutability requirement.

. . . but there's more people who experience attraction to more than one gender than there are people who experience attraction to just people of a similar gender??

That sounds interesting sociologically, but not relevant to the legal issue, unless there's something somewhere that says people who don't have immutable traits can't benefit from measures designed for people who do have them- but you're the lawyer!
