Polyamory in the Twin Cities

awesome.....

But really, just think about what polyamory is going to do to Country Music.  Songs like "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "It's a shame to belong to someone else when the right one comes along" and "he was her man, but he done her wrong" pretty much go away.  I suppose you get some new flavors of drama to write about, but is it worth losing "jealousy" as easy subject matter?

@LeathrHeartClan What was the book on plural relationships that her husband introduced her to?

I thought the article did a good job. I would like to say, though, that the having-children-and-being-poly situation may not be as dire as the folks interviewed indicated. As long as the grandparents are tolerant, they aren't going to try and take the kids away in court. And there has been at least one third-parent adoption in this state (and a couple in other states that I'm aware of), so nonbiological poly parents can get legal parental rights in some cases.

Way to ride this trend about seven years past its crest...but I guess you people need something to do in your igloos besides hibernate and watch the Vikings lose for the next eight months.

@jt_olsen Oh please. Polyamory IS a "lifestyle" choice. No one is born polyamorous. This is another red herring. @mnformarriage #VoteNO

Thanks Patrick Strait for treating this subject respectfully, for demonstrating that such families aren't as uncommon as some might imagine,  and for giving your readers a much more accurate view of them than those who oppose them ever do.  Great job!

@LeathrHeartClan I'm proud of what we've done with the community here it's a great place to be poly.

Author's last name... coincidence?

Thank you for this well written article.

@szvan There was a case in Pennsylvania where that happened - it was overturned #polyamory http://t.co/7jefkxCU
