Following the Supreme Court decision on same sex marriage last month, the media and internet have gone crazy over the questions raised about polyamory and/or polygamous marriage in Justice Roberts Dissent. Many of these articles are full of opinions disguised as fact and an obvious lack of real research. The misinformation is in some cases […]
by Robyn L Trask Why do the media so often miss the mark when they write articles or do a feature on polyamory? Why do so many approach the subject with a ready-made idea of what they are looking for? Sometimes I really have to ask; why is polyamory seemingly so evasive as a subject […]
Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love. Kids scrawl out valentines to exchange at school. Stores are packed with cards, flowers and chocolates of every kind. Red and pink satin and lace lingerie litter the shopping malls. A day focused on couples, or at least coupling, makes it easy to forget that Love doesn’t […]
The concept of polyamory is often misunderstood by the general public and the media. Tell someone you are polyamorous and it conjures images for the average person of swing parties and clubs with people getting it on in dark corners or polygamous families with men controlling unhappy sister wives and lots of children. These images […]

The State We’re In, is an English language international show on world affairs.

On Wednesday April 7, 2010 at the Conference on World Affairs a panel presentation was being presented From Monogamy to Polyamory and Everything in Between. Wow this is great that polyamory is being included in the Conference on World Affairs held annually at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Just one problem, on the panel […]
Robyn Trask of Loving More interviewed, along with several other awesome poly’s, for an article on raising kids in poly families by Mom Logic. The article is actually nice. As is typical many of the comments are scathing. Excerpt For some, being polyamorous provides more love and support for the kids than does being […]
Well polyamory of a sort. I was watching the Daily Show last evening when they did a story on gays wanting not only marriage rights but the right to get divorced. In their true comedic style, they were doing an exaggerated story about a minister who opposes gays getting divorced “No Gay Out – Jason […]

When I first heard the Tiger Woods hoopla, I ignored it as just another gossip fest about someone famous. A few days later, I was personally dismayed when I saw Tiger Woods leading the headlines in USA Today while a story about four police officers being killed in Washington State was not as important. The […]
CNN ran an article online Wednesday, October 28, called Mate Debate: Is Monogamy Realistic? (http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/10/28/monogamy.realistic.today/index.html) The article mentions polyamory which is another example of the growing mainstream interest in the subject. I agree though with Alan of Polyamory in the News (http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/) said “I just wish the subject had been treated more as a positive […]
The French show Effet Papillon(The Butterfly Effect) Canal Plus films did a show on polyamory partly filmed at the Loving More Retreat in September. The show is in French but looks fairly positive. It has been posted to You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCjghdk_pE8 . I personally enjoyed working with the French Film crew and I appreciate their […]
It is obvious to me that ABC news had no interest in having an intelligent adult discussion on the subject of why so many people across all cultural lines, religious background and nationalities have extra marital relationships or cheat. If they did they would not have set up a talk about fidelity, sex and marriage […]
The Newsweek article has stirred up a frenzy of comments and posting on their website because of the July 29 article, Only You. And You. And You. It is always interesting to me to read the comments after an article in mainstream media on polyamory. There is always a prolific and strong reaction of […]
I was standing in line at the grocery store when an issue of Time Magazine caught my eye. The cover was a badly made wedding cake with a plastic bride and groom plowed into the top, the cover article, Unfaithfully Yours, by Caitlin Flanagan. I had to buy it and read this article. In the […]
