As the debate over marriage equality continues, the idea of a marriage "boycott” for straight couples seems to be gaining traction.
Writing for The ABC, Genevieve Callaghan spelled out her tongue-in-cheek case for such a boycott, requesting that her straight friends “hold off getting married until we can all get married.” Failing that, she continues, “don’t invite people who will have to choose between suppressing sadness or unleashing rage to respond to your invitation.”
She is not the first to make this suggestion. Indeed, a boycott was seriously floated as far back as 2012 in the US before marriage equality became law of that land, with The Nation magazine asking the question, What Would Happen If Straight People Boycotted Marriage?
