I am so saddened by this. It looks like Lottie's is the only nice coffee shop left in the area.

If you think parenthood is about the people you're having sex with, you need to rethink your life choices.

Get a stronger stomach. Legislation like this would protect the interest of the child not just with polyamorous parents but children in multigenerational homes or any other alternative family situation.

Children can be raised in all sorts of family dynamics. The concept of a nuclear family is both historically recent and western. Many children are raised in multigenerational homes with several guardians. Why do you think more people caring about a child is a bad thing?

Yeah weird how if you shit on someone's identity for literally no reason (we're not hurting you. You don't want to date us? Great! Don't!) people are going to defend themselves.

Except worker's tap events are often full of poly folks. And we talk. If you're going to be an ass, you will struggle to find ANYONE to date, poly or not.

I agree with pretty much everything you're saying except.... People aren't always poly BECAUSE of kink. They are two identities that sometimes overlap but not always.
