National Coming Out Day

#nationalcomingoutday One day over the summer I asked my grandmother if it would be okay for me to bring both my partners up to visit. She sounded confused and I said, "I thought I'd explained polyamory already. Was that to someone else? Whoops! Well, anyway, I have two boyfriends; we'll camp on the back 40 if that makes everyone more comfortable." Having a very large amount of land is very useful.

#nationalcomingoutday Last Christmas I was chatting with a cousin who had just gotten engaged. She asked me about my boyfriend (the one she knew about) and I regailed her with the latest. A little while later, one of her interests came up, and since we were still partially on the topic of partners, I said, "Oh, my other boyfriend would have so much to chat with you about that! He's also a..." She didn't make a big deal, but pointedly dragged the conversation off the partner topic after that.

#nationalcomingoutday I just inquired after titles by Thorntree Press at my local library system. There is one they can order through an external library system. I explained i was trying to read as many of their (9) titles as possible because i want to publish with them in 2019 (they already have their 2017 and 2018 titles chosen). Thorntree press arose because the authors of More Than Two got rejected enough to found their own publishing company. I just had a discussion about this all without us uttering the words "polyamory" or "nonmonogamy." It was code-switched as hell, but it was still being proudly out.
