Anyway, you say you are tolerant. That's awesome! Are you tolerant enough to support marriage rights for polyamorous people? (i.e. Terisa would be legally allowed to marry both Scott and Larry?)

Once upon a time, the popular opinion was that a black person and a white person could not experience true love with each other and many sadly uninformed people still believe that two people of the same gender cannot experience true love. I think it's safe to say that true love has many infinite forms and is not necessarily limited to the "traditional" way.

And as far as the dog thing, I don't know a single polyamorous person (and I know a lot) who condones sex with animals.

For most of us who choose polyamory, ethical nonmonogamy is far more than a cynic's consolation prize. (I am a heterosexual female, by the way). As I'm sure is the case for you, too, Allena, I would never go back to monogamy even if I could somehow guarantee indefinite exclusivity. I identified as monogamous until I was 25 and it never worked for me. My own infidelity was just as rampant as my father's, and I even attended 12-step meetings for Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. That didn't work, either. I was trying to fit myself into a box that was WAY too small for me. Accepting and embracing my nonmonogamous nature in an ethical manner has lead to greater health, happiness, and prosperity for myself and everyone around me. Monogamy never lead to truly deep, meaningful love and commitment for me the way that polyamory does. Before, love simply meant control to me. Now it means intimacy, freedom, and truly accepting my lovers for who they are, inside and out.
I'm not saying that polyamory is the ideal lovestyle for anyone but myself. I just wish the world would be more open-minded about it.
