Again, like Brexit and indyref, the elders in society are demonstrating illiberalism, and like those under 16, perhaps we ask "should they be allowed to vote?"

Been with my partner for more than 15 years. Society dictates its only from marriage, but that's nonsense as then we'd be just 8. Nobody gets married after 2 weeks anymore and some marriages don't last the 7 years we were dating. Ergo, anniversaries are pointless. As is marriage really?
