Some people think that polyamory is like waving a magic wand and saying, “now you can have sex with whoever you want repercussion free.”

Writer, speaker, coach, and negotiation expert, Lelia Gowland and her husband Cole have happily been in a stable, healthy, polyamorous marriage for eight years

But what would you do if your identity as poly and as a queer person was something that some folks knew but most folks did not? Would you decide to leave things as they were and tell yourself that you were living “beyond categories?” Or would you write about it in your weekly newsletter and invite people in to see who you really are?
