LOL I noticed and tried to fix it right away, but yeah, I guess it was a subliminal message :p (unrelated note: this east coast thing is weird, by this time in Vancouver it should be near impossible for French peeps to comment on my LJ!)
I sort of had the same discussion with myself regarding relationships with more than one person. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it myself but I really like the idea of it. I particularly like the idea of understanding family as a broader term, something that can include far more than bio-mom and bio-dad. At the same time though I don't like the attitude you see on some people who do practice polyamory like it's fundamentally better. I really think to each their own, except of course it's easier to say that when "your own" matches what society approves of...
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the entry. I wasn't entirely sure where I was going with this sometimes, and I didn't want to sound offensive or dismissive or whatever. But I really wanted to write it because it's been sort of a strange experience getting so excited about this hetero couple that (involuntarily) embodies so many things that bother me on a political level. Damn hegemony. ;)
