A unanimous vote among the three members of the Seattle City Council’s Housing, Arts and Civil Rights Committee forwarded a proposal to the full council that would amend sections of the Seattle Municipal Code to “recognize genders outside the gender binary, recognize pansexuality and asexuality as orientations, and include consensual relationships with multiple partners as an element of attitudes, preferences, and practices pertaining to sexual orientation.”

The protections would apply to employment, housing, business licensure, places of public accommodation, park usage, and “bias-free policing,” according to the proposal.

Seattle would follow Portland, West Hollywood, Berkeley, California, and a handful of other cities in adopting the expanded protections against discrimination. Under the bill, residents facing unfair treatment could file complaints and seek remedy through Seattle’s Office for Civil Rights.

Poly relationships are going to be the only way to own a house soon.

There is also inheriting.

If you are lucky, yeah. Poly will become the only way to do it yourselves though.

I swear it's the only healthy way to parent in our society.

Anyone wants to join my marriage let me know lol. I give good head but you gotta put in them hours.

Soon?

Cheaper areas still exist for now. Bought mine on near minimum wage at the time I bought it a few years ago. Living in a fairly large town between 2 medium cities but going to either of them is generally a day out kind of trip.

Is it getting more common to be publicly poly? I left the city for work and live in the boonies, I feel out of the loop. I feel such a deep pull towards polyamory as someone with a lot of love to share, but idk where to start

We dunno, we think it could still be a problem in some places for work purposes, but we are publically, as well as relationship anarchists publically too.

I feel like it’s pretty closeted in general but I’m out as poly pretty much, I just decided I’d take any risk it presents :3

edit: feel free to ask me any questions about it. I’ve found poly cocktails to be a nice community in my city and I know they have chapters all around
