Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition

PLAC seeks to advance the civil rights of polyamorous individuals, communities, and families through legislative advocacy, public policy, and public education.

Chosen family has value. Platonic relationships can be just as serious as romantic ones. Single people have shared interests with LGBTQ+ people & polyamorous people & step-parent families, in support for families beyond nuclear. So honored to share my vision on @TEDRadioHour!

The Parental Rights in Education bill was signed in Florida on Monday. @HarvardLGBTQ Director @alexanderlchen discusses the specifics of the bill, the legal challenges it may face, and how he believes it could impact students and teachers. https://t.co/WhMjadq5f1

Press play for the incredible coverage of @thenameisviv from @EqualityFed and @shannonminter5 from @NCLRights (and me from @PRAEyesRight).

Stay for my quote: "These are violent solutions to a problem that doesn't exist."

Blood relations are just the default settings to family. We get to customize our own bespoke set. 🌈🙌🏼

[Diana Adams (they/them) @DianaAdamsEsq]

This is the awful way many #LGBTQIA people are treated by family of origin. I am rejected by most of my bio family too. Chosen family saved my life. I wish for each of you a family (perhaps of non-relatives) who make you feel cherished & chosen.

Hello!

My name is Heron Greenesmith! I'm an agender, bisexual, polyam lawyer and parent who researches anti-LGBT / anti-transgender networks, leaders, and rhetoric.

Here's what I did for work this year!

PRA hosted an informative briefing reflecting on the past year in Anti-LGBT advocacy, and what we can expect in the next year. From parental rights to athlete bans, our panelists discussed the wins and the losses for the LGBT community. Watch here: https://t.co/omwqcsvSoC
