Polyamory & Open Relationships

Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

I thought to post a poly flag for the community, but was reminded on searching, that there are a lot of them. What flag or image do you like? Maybe I'll cycle them thru? https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=polyamory+flag&iax=images&ia=images

Edit: As the community is new I'd like to roll with this thread for a couple weeks, and hope others will make suggestions, offer opinions, etc. And then I propose we have a poll to decide the fiag or flags. If multiple flags get chosen, then we can cycle them. I suggest a ranked choice vote, as it's more in keeping with my understanding of the philosophy of polyamory, supports all our community in it's diversity, and anarchistic.

What about the non monogamy flag?

Sort of trans colors, and a triangle, is what I see. Triangles have been fun, but not particularly long lasting, for me. Not that longevity is the only thing that makes a relationship valuable. What do you like about this one? The one with a heart/ earth symbol seems odd, as it only shows a very small part of the Earth.

I like that it's inclusive. There's so many flavours to non monogamy including polyamorousness and open relationships, so I feel like something like the NM flag has everyone covered.

LoL, NM = NonMonogamy. Cool. Also I just discovered there already is a Polyamory group on Lemmy.World . :-/ Somehow I didn't find it when I was searching this morning.
