MNPoly.org: About Us

We are a group of people who believe that ethical, loving relationships need not be monogamous. We meet several times a month in various venues, such as discussion meetings, coffee-shop socials, house parties, dinners out, movie nights, etc.

We also utilize a list server to keep in touch with our community on-line. To join, click on the link below and click on "subscribe". You will be asked to participate in a short telephone interview, or to attend an event before your subscription will be completed.

This group is diverse and open-minded and membership will not be limited by age, accessibility issues, gender, choice of kink, religion, color, sexual orientation, race, cultural designation or planet of origin....GLBT friendly. This group also welcomes those with interest in Intentional Community (aka Communes), co-op living, polyamory and polyfidelity, all of which have in common issues relating to relationships, interrelating and conflict resolution.

TCPDG Mission Statement:

We define Polyamory as the honest, non-possessive, responsible, and ethical philosophy and practice of experiencing and encouraging all levels of love - including affectionate, romantic, or sexual love - with multiple people, concurrently (a.k.a. “ethical” or “intentional non-monogamy”). Polyamory also supports and encourages the building of committed friendships, “chosen” families (non-blood-related), extended families (both blood- and non-blood-related), polyfidelitous families (“group marriage”), and related intentional/alternative communities.

With that in mind, the purposes of the group are as follows:

The Primary function of this group is to provide a supportive environment that encourages the discussion of responsible, intimate, caring, multi-partnered relationships and related issues.

Secondary functions of this group are to encourage any form of loving relationships between members, by providing a support role for members, and by providing and encouraging social gatherings for member interaction.

Tertiary functions of this group are (1) for members to participate, on a voluntary basis, in various public venues, in a variety of ways, intended to educate the public about our group, as well as about Polyamory in general, and (2) to advertise our group's existence in a public way to encourage additional members.

Maybe you are asking yourself how you too can become a member of the Twin Cities Polyamory Discussion group. Well, it's fairly easy. You will need to first apply to our mailing list.
