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.

I mean yes. Exactly this, for poly people today. The only thing is I don't think poly ppl get murdered really, likely because it's much less obvious in public that someone is poly, whereas it's more obvious for gays
I feel safe being open about polyamory today but I remember I went to an atheist meetup back in idaho and one of the guys there was poly - I figured it out based on subtle hints in the conversation - and he told me he was too scared to come out to anybody
