If you had a child who came out as 100% gay, would you be happy and encouraging? What about if they came out as 100% polyamorous?

Yes, that’s fair. I’m also poly but heteroflexible at best so don’t have enough insight to draw the parallel of the two. it does bother me constantly to see lack of inclusion/acceptance of poly when there has been so much progress with other ways of life
-
To me it just makes sense.. if you have two parents, one doesn’t diminish love for the other. if you have two siblings, one doesn’t diminish love for the other. So why do people not fathom two (or more) romantic partners also being natural and non diminishing to any one partner

An interesting one philosophically. I remember reading "The Myth of Monogamy" in the early 2000s. The gist was that it's rare in nature, and forced where not. I guess the result would be that everyone is poly, but do you value partner jealousy (potential) over multi partners?

People attracted to animals (or worse) could say the same thing? Your question was about "encouragement" from a parent. I would not "encourage" polyamory nor monogamy. They should discover what works for themselves. They need acceptance and unconditional love, not encouragement.
-
animals can’t consent. that’s not a valid comparison at all. I do see your point on phrasing of acceptance vs encouragement. Yeah I wouldn’t push either way I’d simply accept what they believe is right for them.

I've seen you say this, but my only previous exposure was other rationalish types talking about deliberate polyhacking and how to overcome/suppress feelings of jealousy. Wonder which is more common.
