#polyamory is queer

[hazel2468]

You know, I’ll say it again.

I’m in the process of working out the legal things that need to be done before I actually marry my wife.

When talking to my lawyer, I need to closet myself and refer to my wife’s girlfriend, my metamour, as “a friend”. My boyfriend is also “my friend”. Because I don’t know if my lawyer would agree to continue working with me. If he knew that my wife and I were polyam.

Polyamory is queer. Polyam people are queer, Polyam people share our struggles, our fight for recognition and safety. Our fight to be able to love who we love and be with who we want to be with.

not the discussion on a queer group on fb about whether polyamory is lgbtq 🙄

Can I just say that exclusionism is hurting us all, and queerness is situational, political and individual. My cishet polyam sister whos living in rural south germany is more discriminated against for being polyam than I, a blue haired nonbinary city queer, am for any part of my identity. Queer is just "different from the norm" and the norm is cishet monogamous couples who only have vanilla sex for reproductive purposes. Literally anything that isn't all of that is almost by definition queer; what you wanna call yourself and which groups you wanna be a part of is fully your own decision but no one else gets to tell you you're not a part of the sexual minorities group when you're actually wanting and needing to be part of the sexual minorities group

the "i love weird unpalatable queerness" leaving tumblr users' bodies when they see a polyamorous person

Polyamory isn't about sticking it to the people staring. It's not about parents' acceptance. It's not about cheating or sneaking around. It's not even about the sex, not that that's not a bonus.

It's about reminding each other to take our meds. It's about breaking bread with metamours. It's about sharing special interests on long car rides. It's about learning about your lovers' love for their partners.

It's about retying her dress while our gf melts at the sweetness. It's about the way they both helped me stay ambulatory. It's about tag team compliments. It's about the way that little girl excitedly looked between the three of us, her eyes fixing on each of our clasped hands.

It's about support, and love, and living.

guy talking to a polycule: so which one of you is the tank and which one is the healer and which is the DPS?

[ellie-probably]

reblog this if your account is a safe space for polyamorous and non-monag people or is owned by someone who is polyamorous or non-monogamous

op is a monogamous person who felt they haven't seen enough posts acknowledging this part of the queer community outside of non-monogamous circles and blogs

when i learned what "cheating" in a relationship was when I was a kid i was very concerned and confused. i said smth like "but why don't they just ask permission and then they're allowed?"

anyway i'm an aspec poly trans man now

No more trans doom scrolling! Today we are embracing trans hedonism!

T4t love, polyamory, queer platonic relationships, and friendships are so beautiful! Embrace pleasure, embrace rest, embrace yourself and all those you love! Eat that cake, kiss that person, take that nap, enjoy your life! Today I call for an era of radical trans joy!

A Comparative Guide to OUR GOOD SHADOWS

A simple guide for queer (masc) people in search for some new show to watch!

23/08/29 UPDATE! - I've added Leverage and another question to the table.

List of series for future updates.

I hope you find this useful or at least entertaining, I thought of it while lying in bed half awake at 8am :)

This is a reminder to queer people:

You are valid!!

You are valid if you are questioning/unsure

You are valid if you're trans but don't feel dysphoria

You are valid no matter what pronouns you use

You are valid if you're cis but not straight, or if you're straight but not cis

You are valid if you use lots and lots of labels, or if you prefer to remain unlabeled.

You. Are. Valid!

(P.S. I am one follower away from 10 followers! That's insane)

i love you polyamorous relationships, open relationships, friends with benefits/friends that have sex with each other, queerplatonic relationships, friendships that have some weird queer element to it, relationship anarchy, staying single and i love anything that doesn't match what society considers "normal"

[ohswampey]

nobody's gonna see this but fuck it

the reason I love ofmd is because it shows what it means to be queer and trans and neurodivergent. like that's it. everyone is a little into each other, any kind of relationship goes and there's no questioning from everyone else. their identities don't get in the way of their character arcs. jim gets to be trans and poly and there doesn't need to be 3 episodes to explain it. stede and ed? bro that's literally autism4autism. there's no male gaze or female gaze. that soft ass ponytail ed was rocking is straight up queer gaze. the love story gets to progress beyond what any queer story written for/by straight people could do and way beyond the typical hetero romance. I love the humanity of it all. I love the way people can do bad things but they can still be loved. they can be in the wrong and need to change their actions and mindsets but still be loveable. that's what makes me love it. unconditional acceptance

On this day of freedom, let's talk about how bald eagles are queer!

It starts with a female eagle named Hope and a male named Valor I. The two settled down to neat together, however Valor I wasn't a great dad. He did show up to incubate the eggs and basically never came around.

In comes another male, Valor II. He immediately did what a good eagle dad is supposed to, incubate, maintain the best, all that. This lead to him becoming Hope's new mate.

Here's where it gets interesting, Valor I didn't seem to mind and actually stuck around! Eventually Hope started mating with both of them, and Valor I even learned to be a good dad!

Unfortunately in 2017 Hope was killed by intruding eagles, but! The two male's actually stuck together and successfully raised their chicks!

Soon enough a new female named Starr came along and joined the two, and now she mates with both males every season!

This arrangement allows for the eagles to have a much more successful rate of raising chicks and fighting off other predators!

This particular story isn't the only one! Bald eagles have been seen in multiple arrangements including two females and one male!
