Monogamy vs Polyamory vs Open vs anything of their own choice. To each, their own.

As of late, there's been a lot of hatred for monogamy and people advocating for poly or open relationships give statements like humans aren't evolved to be monogamous or stick to one person and how monogamy is a social construct and why marriages and relationships are pointless.

Why can't people actually be interested in being with one person? Why is having to be with someone in a closed relationship with mutual trust and love seen as something that was fed to us as solely as a social conditioning? Is it so hard to believe some of us genuinely want that for us because it is what makes us happy? It is quite frankly very disregarding and biased to generalise when all we strive for here as a community is inclusivity and acceptance.

Then there's the other side that hates on poly relationships and open relationships. This is failry common as well. Labels such as legalised cheating and greediness in wanting more are thrown around casually without seeing the nuances and how it works for them. What works for them might not work for you but it gives you no right to moral police them for what you think is the right way to live.

My point is, everyone has their preference and we unfortunately live in a society that's interlinked and codependent. So there is going to be a lot of diversity seen from time to time and there is bound to be some friction when differences arise. As long as no one is being treated unfairly and all parties are consenting adults, we have no right to judge how they choose to spend their limited lifespan here on Earth.

If we start generalizing and advocating for one form of relationships as the natural one or the one that " we were evolved to sustain", then that goes into a territory we don't want exploring, especially here in the LGBTQIA+ community. Exceptions are the rule Even in Evolution.

So can we mutually respect people's choices even though it might not be the one that resonates with you? Thank you.
