Polyamory Day
November 23, 2019 19:26 - 2 minutes - 2.01 MBFrom http://polyadvocacy.ca/polyamoryday/ November 23rd is National Polyamory Day. On that day in 2011, BC’s Supreme Court ruled that Canada’s so called “anti-polygamy law” does not apply to unformalized polyamorous households – clarifying that polyamory, as it is typically practiced in Canada, is legal and not a criminal act. Prior to November, 23, 2011, it was questionable if polyamory was legal in Canada. #polyamoryday #polyamory #polyam #ethicalnonmonogamy
