A slew of folks in the LGBT movement have realized that the gay marriage agenda does not work in and of itself.  Some feel that it should be dropped in favor of other issues while others have decided that it needs to go further and represent a coalition of groups that are under-represented in terms of marriage rights.  So, the Beyond Marraige manifesto has been born with some rather big names supporting it.  It goes much further than merely same-sex marriage and is resonant with recent moves in some states and the DC to afford survivor’s rights to folks who previously had been discriminated against.  However, some folks like Chris Crain see it as a threat to pure "gay" rights agenda and so portray it as anti-conjugalist in essence, which it is not.  He is decidedly wrong in that characterization.  There is certainly a difference between being against conjugal relationships and being for expanding the definition of rights of marriage to include folks so that it does not only refer to conjugal relationships.  Crain seems to also have forgotten that in the minds of many of the conservatives he also would do battle with on other rounds that conjugal can only mean heterosexual physical relations.
