To recognise polyamorous/polyamory relationships in UK law

Closed 44 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to recognise the legitimacy of polyamous relationships (having a romantic or sexual relationship with multiple partners at the same time) and to treat the participants who enter into polyamorous relationships as a single household.
We are sick and tired of being discriminated against simply for being in a polyamorous relationship. We are unable to claim any form is support or benefit that would typically be available to couples as our relationship is not recognised as valid by UK law and therefore we want the Government/Parliament to recognise all those in polyamorous relationships and for them to be recognised in UK Law.
