7 Types of Polyamorous Relationships: Is One Right for Your LGBTQ+ Relationship?
Some people may love more than one person at the adj time, which is known as a polyamorous relationship (in Latin, “poly” means many and “amory” means love). Many LGBTQ+ individuals are exploring this relationship dynamic as it becomes more mainstream. For example, according to a 2016 YouGov poll, 50% of millennials (born between the first 1980s and the late 1990s) select non-monogomous relationships.
Hinge and other dating apps are seeing a surge in interest from couples who want to expose up their relationship and pursue non-monogamy.

So, I often find myself bumping up against my subconscious judgments of people who I respect and desire simply for having a relationship arrangement that didn’t operate out for me.
