Pupils should be taught about relationships involving multiple partners and polyamory should be given legal recognition, according to ‘detached from reality’ Scottish Green activists.
They will propose this weekend that sex education should not prescribe ‘specific relationship structures as superior or more desirable’ and that lessons ‘should cover a mix of sexual identities’ such as ‘throuples’.
The motion, to be debated at the Scottish Greens’ autumn conference in Inverness, says ‘all relationship structures should be recognised and reflected in our education’.
Proposed by the party’s Greens of Colour group, the submission also says polyamorous relationships are growing in number across Scotland ‘but remain without recognition’.
They claim this can ‘prevent members of poly relationships from day-visiting their partners in cases of serious illness or being recognised as their partners in official documentation’.
Activists also insist state benefits ‘should take into account relationships that may involve multiple partners’.
