| People who practice polyamory are entitled to the same respect as those who are monogamists. |
|
| In my experience it is men, more often than women, that are unfamiliar with true polyamory, where communication and consent are a given. |
|
| Just as with sexual orientation, polyamory is a way of life that you cannot easily deny if it is meant for you. |
|
| For example, today we've obviously heard more about polygamy and polyamory than we've heard in most of our hearings. |
