I'd talk about what was going on. Poly only works if people are open and honest with each other (IMHO).

I'm not currently in any sort of Poly situation currently... but... I came to the belief in Poly a long time ago. We can love more than one sibling, we can love more than one parent, we can love more than one relative, we can love more than one child. Love doesn't stop because it also exists...

Oh, I agree that the Bible isn't my first/best choice. I only suggest that if religious objections are brought into play. The Bible won't help with gay or bisexual, but it absolutely can help with poly (even if, in its shortsightedness, it is limited, as mentioned by KDT, to various variations...

You have an awesome wife, it sounds like. As for coming out to your dad, I don't think I'd suggest "coming out as gay" to him, because in your OP, you actually don't describe yourself as gay. You describe yourself as bi with a preference for men, but not to the exclusion of women. If it was...

One question you might want to think about. As "non-roomies" there's the possibility of natural separation (your GF can go "out" with her GF, and you not even be around/aware of it), but once moved in, that natural separation will disappear. Is everyone o.k. with that aspect? Also... you said...

My personal feeling (and yes, I know this has nothing to do with how it's legally looked at) is: willing consent, drunk or not, is willing consent. The only thing that could, in my opinion make it non-consensual is if a person's drink was drugged without their knowledge, or they are physically...

"Guidelines" can be as varied as there are different people in the world. What works great for one group may be too constricting for another group and too open for the next. The important thing for any group is to find what works for YOUR group. And it is VERY important that you (and your group)...

I believe that all humans are "hard wired" for poly but not in a "you WILL be poly" sense. I believe it's more of a "hallway with infinite doors" type of thing, and the software (social upbringing) either only allows one to open at a time (raised mono) or allows combinations of doors to be open...

That's a very good point. "Until death do you part" used to mean an average of mid 50's to 60's. Now it's not unusual for it to mean "until 90's"

That's actually a lot more probable (in the near future) than some people think. And I don't think it will take until the year 3,000 either.

I'd say, by the time period you specify (2180's-ish), that poly (and gay, for that matter... because it's likely that gay acceptance will open up poly acceptance) will be just as accepted as interracial is today.

Polyamory has as much to do with FWB as Monogamy has to do with FWB. They are equal in comparison because they both are separate from it.

When asked for my race on a form of some kind, I always answer "Other" and then if there's a blank beside it, I write "human". When asked for my color, I say "white". "Race" as a color is a dividing line amongst PEOPLE. There will come a day, one day when the answer to "Race?", from anyone...

Dislike ;)

Well, this isn't a list of states or anything... but here's a very recent interesting ruling that may have applications to this issue: Federal District Judge Finds Portions of Utah's Criminalization of Polygamy Unconstitutional

The code I use on my other board is adaptable and can be changed to "Agree/Disagree" or whatever... AND/OR it can be limited to JUST "Like" (or "Agree" or whatever) or JUST "Dislike" (or "Disagree" or whatever). ETA: the code could even be adapted to have a "Like" and an "Agree" if one wanted...

Not really. (there's a code for doing that too, though... LOL) The way it gets used on my site is just like LR suggested, when you want to tell someone that you like or agree with their post, but you dot' want to make a separate post that says "I like that". All the "Like/Dislike" code does is...

I run a messageboard on a different system. I had to manually add the code to have "like/dislike" (I could have limited the code to JUST "Like", had I wanted to) added to the forum. If it's not a "check this box to add Like" option in the Administrator Control Panel somewhere, it MIGHT be...

Have you heard about US Politicians? :D ;) Of course it's legal to be sneaky and/or an asshole!
