... it really seems that, at least in the Queer community, the bisexuals and lesbians seem to decently comprehend the whole concept of Polyamory way better than gay men do.
I was reaching out online in an endeavor to start a local-regional chapter of
www.GayOutdoors.org, when a lesbian woman contacted me, wanting to be involved. She said, "There sure are lots of men on that site". I explained that it is a gay men's club, then said an LGBT club would be a good idea and that I'd be happy to help start one up. (I have a history of organizing things, and some relevant skills.) Then I realized the poly folk would have to be included.
And then I was out hiking with Kevin (my sweet) and Andy, my straight friend, and the three of us talked about that club idea ... and I just had to include Andy ... So we decided the three of us would start up a club focussed on bringing LGBT, poly, and their admirors together under one umbrella.
(Welcoming club name suggestions!!!)
Anyway, there is a local organization / group / whatever of poly folk ... and I'm getting ready to share my idea with them.
This should be quite an educational experience for everyone involved!
The club is for hiking, bicycling, picnicing, skiing, camping, backpacking, kayaking ... anything outdoors -- but there's no reason we can't also have indoor potlucks and the like, or bowling / roller skating....
The idea is to let club participants / members invite folks, via a calendar (online, etc.) to join in specific activities. Sometimes just the gay men are invited, or the lesbians. Other times it would be for everyone. Sometimes just poly folk. Sometimes just LGBT -- by design of the one posting the calendar item.
Anyway, the bar scene is very limited!
My main point in this post is that the plan is to bring poly folk together with gay (etc.) men, women, folks, etc.
Spooky! I mean poly men round those other kinds of men! Very spooky. BoooOOOooo!
