#Polyam Pride

[agrebel18]

i love you polyamorous relationships, open relationships, friends with benefits/friends that have sex with each other, queerplatonic relationships, friendships that have some weird queer element to it, relationship anarchy, staying single and i love anything that doesn't match what society considers "normal"

[measureyourlifeincake]

i was gonna make a post like "this pride month, pour one out for the polyam folks for having the worst flag"

(and like, i know theres been a bunch of flags, but this is the one i've seen the most)

however! when i went to google the polyam flag, i found this website, where they apparently held a vote for a new flag that accurately represented the community (and, presumably, didn't look like absolute dogshit), and they apparently settled on this one!

i hadn't seen it before, but I think it looks really nice and if you check their website, it seems like they have good reasoning/backing/community support, so I really hope I see it around more!!!

Very happy and proud to be polyamorous. I love loving people and building long lasting relationships with other people. Nobody can ever make me feel ashamed for how much I love others.

Holy shit it can't be that hard to just be normal about polyamorous people and NOT repackage homophonic rhetoric to exclude them

"Well I don't care what they do I just don't want them in the LGBTQ community" that's the same shit they've been saying about trans people for years dawg

"Well all polyamorous people are ugly and cringe" that's the same shit they've been saying about trans people for years dawg

"Well all polyamorous relationships are just one ugly guy and two helpless victim girls" the predator rhetoric is the shit they've been saying about gay and trans people for years dawg

"Well all polyamorous relationships are just an excuse to be a cheater" 1. Not what polyamorous means, can't be cheating if everyone consents, 2. That's exactly what the same shit they've been saying about bisexuals for years dawg

I'm sick of the awful reputation poly people/relationships get.

You may ask 'but Indi! why do you care so much?"

Because I deeply love my girlfriends, and to not respect the poly community is to not respect us. My partners deserve the same respect any other relationships get. Because, we are the same as any other relationship, except its love shared between 3 instead of 2. I find it hard to understand why people, especially people who are in the lgbt+/queer community themselves, hate on polyamory.

To hate is not an opinion, its discrimination and disrespect. You cannot preach that "love is love" and then turn around and say that its wrong to love more than one person.

Lets clear up some misconceptions while we're at it:

Polyamory is not about sex. - Just like any other good relationship, love is what matters most. Just like anyone else, we share company, space, food, and games

Polyamory has nothing to do with politics or religion - My relationship should not fuel a political or religious debate. Just like a lesbian relationship shouldn't. People simply exist. Identity, religious beliefs, and political beliefs are 3 separate things

A polyam relationship does NOT have to include men - And it also doesnt need to include women. Poly is not about a man having multiple wives/girlfriends, its about love and care between multiple people.

Being poly is NOT cheating - Consent, discussion, and trust should be the pillars of all relationships. Polyamory is mutual love.

Pride is about celebrating not fitting into societal norms, loving each other, supporting each other, and remembering those who fought for lgbt+ rights and community spaces, and continue to.

Love is Love, Happy Pride Month

Can we start normalizing polyamory in general? Cause jfc, it's tiring to see anti poly stuff when I'm just existing.

Tina: wait so are you and Bugs dating or not?

Daffy:

Daffy, turning around: hey Bugs!

Bugs, across the room, talking to Lola: huh?

Daffy, still yelling: are we dating?

Bugs, hand behind his ear: what?

Daffy: ARE WE DATING?

Bugs: oh! I dunno! Sure? Maybe? Are you asking me out?

Daffy: I guess!

Bugs: then sure!

Daffy, turning back to Tina: yes. The answer is yes.
