Polyamorous-NYC’s September meeting sounds like a really interesting one. Their topic, polyamory and the law, is sure to touch very close to home for a lot of people living alternative sexual lifestyles. From the Polyamorous-NYC calendar:

This month’s topic is Polyamory and the Law: Radical Sexuality, Arcane Politics, and the Activism of your Personal Choices with Diana Adams, Esq. In this historic moment of questioning possibilities for state-sanctioned same-sex relationships, we have an opportunity to also question mandated monogamy, and challenge it legally and socially. In this interactive presentation, Diana Adams, Esq. will discuss the controversial movement for legal and cultural recognition of polyamorous relationships. Learn how to protect your legal rights as a polyamorous partner, parent, or family, and how to make your personal choices have an activist impact and educate your community about positive polyamorous relationships.
