Over the past few years, polyamory—the idea that one can have multiple romantic relationships at the same time with everyone’s consent—has gained a foothold in popular culture. It’s often portrayed as enlightened, freeing, and emotionally honest. Supporters insist that if everyone involved agrees, no one gets hurt. “It’s all about consent,” they say. “If everyone [...]
The phrase “Love is love” has become a cultural anthem. You’ll see it on bumper stickers, social media posts, and public rallies.
