Unitarians from Boston to Berkeley have opened another front in the liberal crusade to expand the definition of marriage and family in America.
It’s the new polygamy, and according to the Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness, their relationships are at least as ethical as other marriages — gay or straight.
“Polyamory is never having to say you’ve broken up,'’ said Sally Amsbury of Oakland, whose sex and love life openly includes her husband and two “other significant others,” known in polyamory parlance as “OSOs.”
Amsbury serves on the national board of directors of the Unitarian Universalist organization, which defines polyamory as “the philosophy and practice of loving or relating intimately to more than one other person at a time with honesty and integrity.'’
“Polyamory is not an alternative to monogamy. It’s an alternative to cheating,'’ said Jasmine Walston, who lives in Louisville, Ky., and is president of the Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness.
“For some of us, monogamy doesn’t work, and cheating was just abhorrent to me,'’ she said.
