Cool Introduction

Hey guys,

I lied. This introduction is not going to be Cool. Sorry. I never know what to put in these meet-me threads, so here's an abrupt rundown of some basic information about me:

I'm 22 years old and don't have personal experience with consang relationships myself barring secret juvenile crushes on cousins, but two of my family members are together. I support them completely - which feels like a silly thing to say about consenting adults in a happy relationship, but that's how it is. I would like to emphasise, though, that secondhand experience with consanguinamory isn't the reason why I'm supportive - I've never in my life been able to get my head around, or been given a convincing reason by anyone, why certain types of relationships (e.g. homosexual, polyamorous, consanguinamorous) are socially and/or legally prohibited. But don't get me talking, I'll never stop.

Anyway, basically I'm curious to interact with people who have experiences similar to mine or that of the aforementioned lovebirds, since consanguinamory isn't something conventional company is comfortable conversing about.

So. Here I am. Love you. Hope I did this right.

You did it fine. A mod will be along to approve you u til then welcome.

Hi, Alhena,

Don’t worry. You’re cool. And you’re also upgraded to full membership. Hope you like it here!

Feel free to talk all you want. We don’t charge by the word.

Thank you for being an ally to your family members. I’m sure they need it. I fully agree with you, of course, that we should all be free to love whoever we’re in love with.

May I ask who the two relatives you’re supporting are? Feel free to say it in the members-only sections if you’re not comfortable following up in your cool intro.

Best,
UN

Welcome aboard! You sound like a friend of Full Marriage Equality!

We do have an an entire section for allies. And write as much as you want. As with anyone else, you should feel free to add to existing (even old) conversations, and to start new ones.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone 

@Unowen17 The relatives in questions are cousins to me, brother/sister to one another. We grew up pretty close, though, so I secretly like to consider myself a third sibling lol!

Thanks, Alhena! We do have a lot of brother-sister couples on KS, so we're ready to provide any support we can.

Best,
UN
