International Polyamory Day

International Polyamory Day celebrates ethical non-monogamy—the practice of having multiple romantic or physical partners with the consent and knowledge of everyone involved. It challenges the monogamy norm and promotes the idea that love is not a finite resource. Today we're debating love without limits—is it possible to truly love more than one person at the same time, or is jealousy an unavoidable human trait?
