Re: [UUPoly-L] Three GAY Guys

["Pete Benson" <petebenson@starpower.net>]

I can cite a few instances: for example, a lesbian couple who were active in 
the Baltimore poly group when I lived in that area; and I *heard* about a 
triad consisting of a lesbian (A), a bisexual woman (B), and a hetero man 
(C).  Sexually, of course, it was a V: A & B, C & B, and B with both A and 
C.

That said, both gay men and lesbians do seem (IME) to be fairly unusual in 
the poly community.  What someone else wrote may well be a factor -- that 
gay men find more acceptance for being poly than straight poly people do in 
the mainstream straight community.  One of our gay correspondents here could 
maybe enlighten us as to whether they have found that to be true.  (Thesis 
or dissertation research, anyone?)

But there is also simple arithmetic.  Being gay is a minority; being poly is 
a minority.  Being both gay and poly is a far tinier percentage of the total 
population, the product of the two small percentages.

Maybe, Mark, you and your partners could *start* a gay-poly organization or 
network??  Surely you can't be the *only* ones; you and the others just 
haven't found each other yet.  :-)
