Only You. And You. And You.
Polyamoryrelationships with multiple, mutually consenting partnershas 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 Larryalong with Scott, who's also at this dinnerare 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 personbased 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 skinand 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?)
