The polyamorous community is rich with women and men
of non-standard orientations of queerness.� Join us as we discuss queerness
in the polyamorous community and the paradox of non-standard orientations of
queerness!

I am a lesbian and have been active in the Poly Community
for about six years now. I have been an arm of a stable V for going on six
years, as well. My partner Hazel is bi, and we share a home with her husband,
Colin. Poly is in my blood; before I knew of the word polyamorous, I was
involved in a five-person relationship 12 years ago. Even without the language
for compersion, boundary-setting, or NRE, we enjoyed all three together with glowing success.
This year, I organized an amateur strip event to raise funds for PolyCamp.
I have been in attendance at every PolyCamp ever and I am a huge fan! As the
years pass, the connections with other families that we build become a community.
The power of seeing other poly families that make it work, face the challenges
of poly living, and share their experience draws me back every year.
