[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by non-trad family?

I'm asking because I know gay families happily living in straight-laced neighborhoods (Chevy Chase) and cul-de-sacs (Howard and AA counties).

OP here. We're a polyamorous marriage.

Rockville has been great BTW. Everyone has been super cool. [/quote]

So you invite all your lovers to the family thanksgiving, eh? [/quote]

Yep.[/quote]

So your kids know mommy and daddy are bunking a bunch of people on the side?[/quote]

OP here. We're not bunking a bunch of people on the side. I'd otherwise be happy clarify what I mean by a polyamorous marriage, but I sense that you're just trying to cast aspersions.

My child has an incredible life, and I am very grateful for that.[/quote]

I suspect you're more into trying to be alternative and describing yourself as "polyamorous" to be cool and distinctive when in reality you're just a boring conventional couple just like everyone else. Everyone is technically "polyamorous" in that we're fully capable of being attracted to multiple people, so what's so special about you? Do you go around telling all your neighbors you're polyamorous and start support groups for polyamorous couples and tell your kid how open minded you are because you're polyamorous (even though you aren't bunking a bunch of people on the side?). That's where I'm confused at wanting to be in Takoma Park because it's apparently "polyamorous friendly?" Because how would people know? [/quote]

OP here. You don't seem very informed about how polyamorous relationships work. You also seem to have a desire to make me feel bad, which is sad.

When I say that I am in a "polyamorous marriage," I don't mean that I am in an "open marriage" or that I am "attracted to multiple people." I mean that I am in a long-term committed relationship with multiple people whom I live with and co-parent with. I don't go around telling people this, because I don't want to illicit random hostility (as I am experiencing in my conversation with you). However, the unusual composition of my household is obvious to anyone who sees the family pictures in my house or who hears my child mention having three parents. So sometimes it comes up.

I never said that I wanted to move to Takoma Park because they were poly-friendly. As you indicated, it doesn't usually come up. I just mentioned that I had a non-traditional family and clarified that we were poly when someone asked for additional detail.[/quote]
