[UUPoly-L] UU Singles group ?

[B Burk <raedwulf@revealed.net>]

This sort of indirectly brings up something I've been looking for 
input on.  Clearly not all UU churches are unaccepting of the poly 
lifestyle.  The local UU church has a singles group, that goes out, 
has parties once in a while, etc..  The description of it in the 
newsletter makes a point of saying that Gay, Lesbian, Bi, & Trans are 
all welcome.  When I asked the person who runs the group if I, being 
poly,  could come along and meet them, I was told, with much 
hostility,  "your not single, we don't want you here".  I tried to 
talk to her about it, but she wasn't listening, at all.  That was a 
few months ago.  I don't think there is any use pursuing it further 
with her.  I'm afraid if I say anything to the administration I will 
only make things worse for myself.  So, now what.... ????   Doug
