Committed to marriage. Polyamorists say they relate honestly to multiple partners

Unitarians from Boston to Berkeley have opened another front in the liberal crusade to expand the definition of marriage and family in America. It's the new polygamy, and according to the Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness, their relationships are at least as ethical as other marriages -- gay or straight.

"Polyamory is never having to say you've broken up,'' said Sally Amsbury of Oakland, whose sex and love life openly includes her husband and two "other significant others," known in polyamory parlance as "OSOs." Amsbury serves on the national board of directors of the Unitarian Universalist organization, which defines polyamory as "the philosophy and practice of loving or relating intimately to more than one other person at a time with honesty and integrity.''

"Polyamory is not an alternative to monogamy. It's an alternative to cheating,'' said Jasmine Walston, who lives in Louisville, Ky., and is president of the Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness. "For some of us, monogamy doesn't work, and cheating was just abhorrent to me,'' she said.

Polyamory? So, that's what they're calling it now.

If all of these things were allowed to run there course then the final step would be no marriage at all. Just as in the book 1984 by Audulous Huxley.

Dear Sally Amsbury of Oakland:

It's still cheating, lady.

Sounds like just another bunch trying to have their cake and eat it too.. "we want to sin, but we don't want the consequences".. typical liberal thinking.

All the vectors lined up in a row!
Amsbury is bisexual, her husband of two years is heterosexual, and her current "other significant others" are bisexual. One of them, Peter, lives in West Hollywood with his boyfriend. The other one, Conly, lives in Santa Rosa and has been her lover for seven years.

Unitarian--the real church of Susan B. Anthony's choice for most of her life, contrary to feminazi lies. ...not that her "Inner Light" sect of Quakerism was much different.

Unitarianism is also evangelical in that it seeks to infiltrate and change other churches, which it has done in America very succesfully over the past 200 years (see romanticism, Charles Fourier, and all).

We've allowed the fringe elements in our society to make the rules for too long.....now we're paying the price.
