Another reason pride is so important to me is because I'm also part of the romantic orientation spectrum. I am polyamorous pansexual and I have pretty strong Demi sexual leanings due to trauma in past relationships. Polyamorous relationships are considered illegal in many states of this country and it's understandable why there was some religious groups that tried to exploit it to gain control over their people and I'm not after that. I believe the heart is unchained you love who you love.#pride

Growing up, the only real relationships that I saw around myself happening were monogamous and as I got to my teens, I started to notice my own preferences didn't quite fit into the monogamous box. I fell in love with girls and boys around my age and sometimes dated them at the same time with them, knowing of the other partner, I was very careful to split my time equally and make sure that they understood that I loved them both. It was one thing about me that hasn't changed from my teens. #pride
