Seattle Makes Polyamory a Protected Class: ENM Under the Law

Seattle just made history — and Adam & Pris are unpacking it. This past week, the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to extend anti-discrimination protections to people in polyamorous relationships, adding polyamory, pansexuality, and asexuality to the city's legal definition of sexual orientation. So on this episode of Beyond Monogamy , Adam and Pris dig into what this means for the whole ethical non-monogamy (ENM) umbrella — polyamory, swinging, kink, and everything in between. In this episode: The Seattle City Council's new law protecting polyamorous people from discrimination Is swinging covered under "consensual non-monogamy" too? Adam and Pris debate it Orientation vs. choice: are you born non-monogamous, or is it a decision? Real data — a 2025 survey found 61% of non-monogamous people report facing prejudice or discrimination Why so many in the swinger lifestyle and polyamorous communities stay closeted at work A candid, no-filter conversation between Adam and Pris about their own relationship dynamic Whether you're poly, swinging, or somewhere in the beautiful gray area of ethical non-monogamy , this one's for you.
