In this episode of SunShan & Rainbows, we unpack the very real tension between living authentically and managing how family, friends, and the public perceive our polyamorous relationships. From navigating dual social media identities to experiencing awkward moments at events, we talk candidly about what it’s like to be “out” in some spaces and "in the closet" in others.
We explore the gendered double standards often placed on polyamorous people, where men are praised for having multiple women while women are shamed for having more than one male partner. We share stories about being the butt of jokes at social gatherings, being excluded from “family-friendly” group trips, and even navigating the ripple effects of a book written by an ex that cast polyamory in a harsh light.
In our Relationship Philosophy segment, we discuss Polyamory as Liberation—and how reclaiming our truth despite public judgment can be a radical act of self-love and freedom.
