Ali Hendry and Jua O'Kane discuss the challenges and benefits of non-monogamy, building communication skills and disclosing your identity at work.
Polyamory, whilst not inherently queer, is a common practice in the LGBTQ+ community. It is considered a form of ethical, or consensual, non-monogamy, that involves having romantic or sexual relationships with multiple partners at the same time. Polyamory is often viewed negatively, through a heteronormative & traditional lens, with a lot of judgement, misconceptions and stigma attached.
Watch this session to explore...
- The lexicon of polyamory
- How to make non-monogamy work
- The richness of Queer polyamorous history.
