💖💜💙 September 23 is Bisexual Visibility Day! Comment and share your experience!

Marked since 1999, this day is to celebrate bisexuality and also recognize the challenges posed by biphobia and bisexual erasure. Many in the consensually non-monogamous community identify as bisexual and so it is an important day to encourage greater visibility, understanding, and appreciation of our diverse experiences, fostering a more inclusive and supportive society!

👉Listen to our podcast episode on B is For BISEXUALITY: Our Identity, Expressions and S*xual Desires - part of our T&A Alphabet Series!  

We talk about bisexuality and being bisexual, stats and myths around this as well as covering other related identities and expressions such as being fluid, omnisexual, pansexual, q***r, bigender, androgyny and more!

We also talk about how people who identify as bisexual are perceived by others. For example you may have heard it said that that people who are bi are “tourists” and haven’t “picked a side”, yet a study from Cornel University showed something a little different! We cover invisibility, erasure and biphobia and more!

We’re back with a brand new episode in our T&A Alphabet Series on the Let’s Talk Polyamory Podcast!

This time, we dive into the letter K — and wow, did this one take us in a lot of directions.

Here’s a taste of what we cover in this episode, K is for Kink, Kitchen Table Polyamory & Kissing + Other K Words:

✨ Kink – what it is, common myths, where B**M fits in, and why communication & consent matter.
✨ Kitchen Table Polyamory – and why it isn’t the ideal or only way to do polyamory.
✨ Kissing – including André’s story of being taught to “kiss like you’re eating a peach,” plus how to handle boundaries and even bad kissers.
✨ Knights (Overnights) – how staying the night or taking trips with partners can be joyful and tricky.
✨ Plus: Kites & Strings, Kuddling, Kidversations, K**a Sutra, and more.

We also slid in some bonus topics like vetos, poly-saturation, and metamours.

We’ve just wrapped up our summer road trip through Quebec and the Maritimes, where we discovered parts of 🇨🇦Canada we’ve never visited and were blown away! Along the way we recorded bite-sized Carversations and have been sharing them via the podcast!

In this third instalment, we discuss whether love can really be repaired and what it takes—things like willingness, trust, communication, reflection, action, and sometimes even taking breaks (and, we have a healthy debate about this!).

We also talk about attachment styles, misaligned values, and why determination alone isn’t enough to repair things!

🎙 Our next Carversations episode is now streaming!

🚗 We’re continuing our summer road trip through the Gaspésie in Quebec and into the Maritimes—and we recorded a new episode of The Let’s Talk Polyamory Podcast: Road Trip Relationship Check-In.

We share two ways to do a relationship check-in, including the RAADAR Method (from Multiamory + our extra “A” for Affirm & Connect; a practice we teach to our clients and in our Poly Newbies Digital Course) and how it helps keep these reviews structured, connected, and productive.

We get personal by answering some starter questions ourselves:
- How are you feeling in your relationship right now?
- Any wins or highlights lately?
- Anything you’re struggling with?
- Anything you’re excited about coming up?

🗓️ Two other Week of Visibility for Non-Monogamy themes are 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 & 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 and 𝗟𝗮𝘄 & 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘆. These themes highlight the complex realities many non-monogamous people face when it comes to being seen, supported, and protected.

Visibility is powerful—but it’s not the only path. And it’s not the only issue.

🔐 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 & 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲
Not everyone can or wants to be “out” about their non-monogamous relationships. Parenting, jobs, family dynamics, and safety concerns make visibility a deeply personal—and sometimes risky—choice.
Some people are visible. Some are not. Both are valid.

⚖️ 𝗟𝗮𝘄 & 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘆
Most laws weren’t created with non-monogamous people in mind. From hospital visitation to parenting rights, many families fall outside what legal systems recognize. In some places, we’re seeing rights rolled back, making advocacy more important than ever.

🎙️ We also released a new podcast episode this week: “What Does it Mean to Be Visible? Being Out and Open as Polyamorous”

We share our personal stories of being out (or not), talk about how visibility shows up in relationships, and explore how cultural and legal systems shape our choices.

💭 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
👀 What does visibility look like for you?What does privacy protect—and what might visibility offer?
What does privacy protect—and what might visibility offer?
⚖️ Where have you felt unseen or unsupported by the system?
📣 What kind of recognition or protection would help your family thrive?

✅ 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
– If you feel safe doing so, share your story (anonymously or publicly):

– Research organizations advocating for non-monogamous families and relationship rights.
– Support or join legal and cultural advocacy efforts that align with your values.

Do any of these sound familiar? Let us know in the comments 👇
“You just want to sleep around.”
“You’re afraid of commitment.”
“You must not really love your partner(s).”

Today’s theme for Week of Visibility for Non-Monogamy is 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀 & 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀—and there are plenty to unpack.

🎙️ On our Let’s Talk Polyamory episode Debunking Common Myths About Polyamory - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rst1t9Jv2x6xlgkJE2fYP?si=GjB8w0bwT_m1v_8zXJJoCQ , we take on the stereotypes and share what’s actually true for many of us.

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
❌ What myths did you believe or hear when you started exploring CNM?
💡 What changed once you began living it?

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
✅ Listen to the 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 episode
✅ Write down one myth you want to challenge publicly or within your circles.
✅ Share a personal truth or insight that helps dispel a common misconception.

Our identities shape the way we love—and how we want to be loved in return.

Today’s Week of Visibility for Non-Monogamy theme is Identity & Inclusion. Race, gender, sexuality, class, disability—all influence how we experience non-monogamy and how included we feel in its spaces.

🎧 In our Let’s Talk Polyamory episode 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙒𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 we explore how identity shapes your path—and how figuring out your style of non-monogamy starts with knowing who you are.

Today’s reflection:
🌈 What parts of your identity shape your relationship choices?
🌱 Where do you feel included—and where do we need to do better?

Take Action:
✅ Listen to the 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙒𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 episode on the Let’s Talk Polyamory podcast here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2wQiiMrHCFltYorI7bdEGs?si=mZJMsbPHQM6Mpf5Y4nbBOQ
✅ Check out resources or groups that focus on intersectional non-monogamy or identity-affirming relationship spaces.
✅ Reflect on what inclusion means to you and how you can contribute to making spaces more welcoming.
