Only You. And You. And You.
Polyamory—relationships with multiple, mutually consenting partners—has a coming-out party.
Terisa Greenan and her boyfriend, Matt, are enjoying a rare day of Seattle sun, sharing a beet carpaccio on the patio of a local restaurant. Matt holds Terisa's hand, as his 6-year-old son squeezes in between the couple to give Terisa a kiss. His mother, Vera, looks over and smiles; she's there with her boyfriend, Larry. Suddenly it starts to rain, and the group must move inside. In the process, they rearrange themselves: Matt's hand touches Vera's leg. Terisa gives Larry a kiss. The child, seemingly unconcerned, puts his arms around his mother and digs into his meal.
Terisa and Matt and Vera and Larry—along with Scott, who's also at this dinner—are not swingers, per se; they aren't pursuing casual sex. Nor are they polygamists of the sort portrayed on HBO's Big Love; they aren't religious, and they don't have multiple wives. But they do believe in "ethical nonmonogamy," or engaging in loving, intimate relationships with more than one person—based upon the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. They are polyamorous, to use the term of art applied to multiple-partner families like theirs, and they wouldn't want to live any other way.

Yes and Bestiality and Pedophilia if the Obamunists have their way. Oh I almost forgot Necrophelia.
No
His mother,,,, *creepy*
That poor kid. He is going to grow up to be a basket case.
And their dog and the sheep are pouting over in the corner because they aren’t included.
I personally don’t care what people do behind closed doors (consenting adults and all that) That is their business. I am tired of their personal business infringing on my beliefs left and right in the “public domain”.
“ethical nonmonogamy,” an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one.
‘ethical non-morality’???
*sigh*
Newsweek is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel these days, aren’t they. I guess that’s all there is left to do when your readers are all leftists and marxists. It’s the stuff that interests them.
Why do these people think we care what they do in their spare time?
This is the problem with granting homosexual “rights” in the first place. No pun intended, but once you gave them an inch, they wanted a mile. That opened the door (again, NPI) but then came the transgender creeps, now the poly folks, then the bigamists, group marriage, child marriage, et al creeps.
This country should’ve learned to say NO, NO, NO, and NO along time ago.
Poly- relationships are next - then sexual relations with animals is my bet - unless something even more twisted can be found
Otherwise know as slutting around.
Bill O’Reily talked about this the other night; Newsweek talking about the same thing. Irony?
‘Ethical nonmonogamy.’
Whatever. One of ‘em will get jealous or a disease and that’ll be the end of that.
Yes, and the left will say we are intolerant when we say those things are wrong too.
They make me sick.
Wow, Newsweek has dropped to Obama-like depths.
It’s the GM of mags... and will suffer the same ultimate fate.
Hey Newsweek “writers”, better start searching for a job in the Obamaloon administration asap.
My favorite part of the article:
Terisa, 41, is at the center of this particular polyamorous cluster. A filmmaker and actress, she is well-spoken, slender and attractive, with dark, shoulder-length hair, porcelain skin—and a powerful need for attention.
I guess if you need several live-in boyfriends, "having a powerful need for attention" is an understatement.
While I personally don’t agree with the practice It’s not up to me to impose my personal moral code on consenting adults.
We may be aware that their choices aren’t the best, smartest, or morally healthiest, but really it’s not up to us to judge them. They will have a higher power to answer to some day.
If two men can get married, why not two men and a woman? And, what about the family dog? Fido needs love too. Don't they all have a right to pursue happiness? (is the sarcasm tag really necessary here?)
Probably something for the NAMBLA crowd.
Imagine how much time and creativity these people would have in their lives if there were less people involved....LOL! :o
I wonder how many of them are bipolar?
Yep, that about sums up Seattle.
Quislings.
Up to 5 wives per man, remember? Now what religion was that? ;>
Newsweek in a desperate bid to draw readers.
And I guarantee that it will be the Supreme Court of *my* home state (The Gay State) that will be the first to strike down "age of consent" laws.
Episcopalian?
That’s not a marriage, that’s a sentence.
They will owe a lot of stores to clean the puke off of their magazine racks.
TROP calls for up to 4 wives. Is that what you had in mind? Sometimes the guy only keeps 3 “permanent” wives leaving the 4th slot open for very quick relationships.
Actually its been going on forever but now they just want attention for being “special”.
Actually, Robert Heinlein’s novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” looks upon this practice pretty favorably. BUT, in the novel, it was a custom born out of extreme conditions on the Moon colonies.
I dunno. They’re free to purse it, I suppose. It just seems to me that someone in that sort of relationship will always come out the loser.
Pouting Sheep
Hey, my bubble wrap is offended.
Exactly!
If you redefine Marriage, it can be redefined to mean anything. If you can claim the 14th amendment requires “Marriage Equality” then there is no stopping other groups from claiming the same protection.
After all, if gays have a “right” to marry whomever they wish, then so do bigamists and polygamists.
Is the caused by eating “beet carpaccio”? That seemed to be significant to the story for Newsweak.
Right now, in the scenario described, Scott is the big loser. Terisa the big winner. Larry owns the house and married Scott’s girl, “with his permission,” but Scott pays the rent. I’ll bet for ol’ go-along Scott there’s not nearly enough tingle and way too much tangle. Especially with a kid to complicate things.
Terisa you’re a slut plain and simple and so is your so-called boytoy and husband. You’re ALL sluts.
500,000 families? Minimum three people per family = 1.5 million?
Sounds like the same fraudulent numbers strategy the homo crowd are using by over stating their numbers (10%)for legitimacy
Exactly what I thought. How’d they get that number?
I’ll do my own head count............I estimate 9,832 such relationships. It was a scientific process, don’t you worry...
Yuch....I stoped reading after beet carpaccio.........Bunch of lefty nutcases can keep their weirdness on the Left Coast............
Where on earth do you find this stuff?
Obama is the most glaring example of what happens when a country trades the only true God, for a man who they look to for saving them! God has given America what they voted for. A godless communist who is destroying us as a nation, and a people.
Yep - I have said on Freepers before: I am not asking people to go back to the closet, but at least stay in the bedroom!!!
"Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice." Just as long as we're open and honest about it. Or see Oneill and Oneill, Open Marriage by a couple who touted it and ended up in a predictably bitter divirce shortly after.
But hey, when your goal is to disintegrate the structure of marriage, any old clusterf*ck will do.
Don't forget to include all various species of animals who could be part of a "ethical nonmonogamy" grouping.
Dog, cat, parrot, dolphin and gerbils for the homosexuals etc
I guess it could be millions of families if you include of those
