Uhhh idk? Lots of parents are equally as horrified that their child might be dating someone who's openly married as they would be finding out their kid is gay. Also gay ppl have the right to marry now, poly people do not. Also no poly representation in media, also

iirc rates of gay acceptance in the us is way higher than poly acceptance.
I personally feel significantly less safe as a poly person than I do as a bisexual

Being gay isn't for everyone either, but we still let them get married, and I would have asked anti-gay ppl to still support gay marriage.

Polyamory is not just sleeping around, I think I'm triggered now

Sure from an outside perspective, but I'm here from an experienced inside perspective to tell you that's not what's going on and that is a harmful misconception/stereotype. Country music is not about polyamory. I don't think I've ever heard any song that supports my lifestyle.

It's quite possible that in some parts of the Red Tribe being gay is considered worse than being poly, but I don't think Westboro rednecks are reading DF's substack. And in many other places, as Aella notes, poly people get the sort of hate gays got a generation or two ago.

Right, a lot of anti poly sentiment I see comes from forums that are also very pro gay
