Rejected petition Protection for Polyamory.

Polyamorous couples and families do not have the same rights and protection as other couples or minorities in the UK and many other places in the world. Polyamorous people and families should be able to live their lives peacefully without discrimination, from both civil and authority personnel.

More details

Polycule members cannot legally marry more than one partner in the UK.
Polyamory is not yet recognised as a sexual orientation, set social/sexual minority and therefore does not offer the same levels of protection from discrimination in the workplace, socially or authoritative opinions.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It is not clear what you would like to be changed as a result of your petition to enable protection for polyamory.

You may wish to consider starting a new petition that calls for polyamory to be a protected characteristic for the purposes of equality legislation, or for it to be legally possible for marriage to more than partner in the UK.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
