One of the great things about being gay and queer is that we can question and challenge the norms of the heterosexual society. This includes how we choose to define our relationships. This is true of exploring open relationships and polamory. Non-standard relationships can be a source of connection and loneliness. While exciting, it can feel like we’re not sure how to navigate relationships that serve us and help us feel connected. Come and join me and Kevin Martin on this episode of Connection over Coffee with The Loneliness Guy, and let’s get you some tools to navigate discussions about open relationships and polyamory.
