hehe
well, in the closing session
several of the young adults thanked me
for just bringing up the subject.
>From my point of view,
there was way to much how-to-organize committees
and not quite enough how-to-organize my life and/or feelings.
So I think that I struck a nerve:
"Ah, so! I'm not crazy,
there are elders willing to talk about this,
so I can talk about it, too."
In my personal interviews I found several elders
who are, were, or knew personally about others,
who were successfully poly
-- tho in the case of the member of the 40-year triad
the person used the word 'clump'
to describe the situation.
poly may not be exactly queer-pertinent
to Interweave organizing issues
but it was a personally relevant word for attendees.
