A recent article in the Wall Street Journal early on stated, “You may have noticed that polyamory is having a moment.” Polyamory or what some call consensual non-monogamy is the pursuing of multiple relationships with the permission of everyone involved. Recent news items from various media outlets indicate that this lifestyle is more and more out in the open. Advocates for polyamory are working to get legal recognition of this arrangement.
This issue came up in the same-sex marriage controversy. It was obvious to judges including Supreme Court Justice Alito, that if you change the definition of marriage to include two people of the same sex, it becomes almost impossible to say no to people who want their multiple-person relationships recognized. The slippery slope is very real.
