Anybody who has been paying attention to my Facebook feed lately should not be particularly surprised about this one:

I’m polyamorous. If you google polyamory, the definition you’ll get is: the philosophy or state of being in love or romantically involved with more than one person at the same time. I am absolutely capable of (and pretty enthusiastic about) maintaining and fostering romantic feelings and relationships with multiple people at the same time, with everyone aware and consenting to the extent of their desire.

Why this matters today: I’m dating this really great guy, Benjamin Shelton, and I’ve been feeling like I can’t talk about him and how great he is because he’s also dating this pretty spectacular girl, Charli. I’m done with that. These people are important to me, they are both open about their lives and they’ve helped give me the confidence to be open about mine.

For those playing along at home, the scoreboard is thus. Bisexual, genderfluid (they/them pronouns, folks), and polyam. Usually open for questions, as long as they’re polite and preferably can’t be answered by a quick google search. Thanks for listening.
