- Alternative
lifestyles have become culturally accepted but are still little understood
by those who practice heterosexual monogomous relationships. The
inclusion of a category which provides information about alternative relationships
is necessary. No resource guide of this kind would be complete without
it.
Sad to say, the immediate assumption
by some is that this kind of material is objectionable. Even others
perceive it to be offensive. I disagree with both views.
Regardless of one's sexual orientation,
the fact is that those who are gay have always been with us as a real segment
of every society, no matter how open or oppressive, throughout the history
of the human race. This generation has become much more tolerant
of homosexuality. It is woven into the fabric of our contemporary
American culture. They represent a sizeable portion of our population
and one that refuses to be pushed back into the proverbial "closet" ever
again.
Furthermore, those who practice
an alternative lifestyle, whether the claim that it is due to genetics
or by choice, do experience deep and committed primary relationships. Their
need to love and be loved is just as real. They, too, desire the
joy and fulfillment of a loving, caring relationship.
Therefore, an index of articles
on topics pertaining to alternative relationships is included here.
Their purpose is to simply inform without bias or condemnation; without
approval or disapproval. If their content does nothing else, it is
hoped that at least the visitors to this site will leave with a more tolerant
attitude toward others, regardless of their sexual orientation.

The mission of this not-for-profit website is to promote clear insights
and toleration regarding the many variations of primary relationships that
exist in our world. We ask for neither acceptance or approval but
hope that each visitor who reviews the pages of this site will leave them
with a better understanding of the numerous cultural, historical, preferential,
religious, sexual, and sociological approaches to coupling that have always
existed and will continue to exist as long as there are at least two human
beings living on this planet. If the effort put into creating and
maintaining this site results in others coming to the realization that
the basic human need to love and be loved takes on many forms which are
accepted by those who practice them, whether right or wrong as determined
by the personal belief system of others, then it will have served it's
purpose well. |
