Long feature in Philadelphia's newspaper glossy, Philadelphia Magazine, from April, 2015:



Polydelphia

"...But lately, the concept of fluidity in relationships has been inching its way into the zeitgeist — through TV shows like Married & Dating, through articles in the Atlantic and Rolling Stone, through the endorsements of celebrities like Maria Bello and Tilda Swinton. This increased visibility is partly a function of the Internet and social media, where everything that was once considered niche now lives at our fingertips. But polyamory also seems to be gaining currency as we search for a relationship model that can withstand the complexity of modern life. The numbers prove there’s growing interest: As many as 12 million Americans practice some form of consensual non-monogamy today. There are poly meet-up groups in major cities on both coasts, including the notoriously in-the-box Philadelphia — which, incidentally, has hosted an annual polyamory conference since 1995. And now, thanks in part to Tiffany’s organizing efforts, polyamory is having something of a moment among Philly’s under-40 set."

Interesting article. Good to hear that Philly has at least a couple of thriving poly groups.

If you like reading up on poly news, check out the thread that is a "Sticky" at the top of this Press and Media Coverage forum. The OP of that thread, Alan7388, has a really great website of poly news coverage, poly book reviews, etc. A link is in his signature.
