Too many of us live in nations where it is illegal to marry who your heart desires based only upon your sex, gender or orientation. If a citizen cannot have this union legally in their nation of residence, then the least we can do is provide for our citizens the opportunity to do it under Talossan authority. If we shy away from big issues such as this we are less a nation and more of a hobby. Which beings me to my original question: what in our constitution fails to provide this? > > Of course, if your desire is simply to have a certificate-issuing authority (so our document fetishists can have fun), then try to limit the bill to just that. > > If some wish to have fun in this area, so be it. I might be one of them!
