The American Psychological Association has established a task force on “consensual non-monogamy,” an effort they say is necessary in order to reduce “stigma” on persons who practice polyamory.
“Finding love and/or sexual intimacy is a central part of most people’s life experience. However, the ability to engage in desired intimacy without social and medical stigmatization is not a liberty for all. This task force seeks to address the needs of people who practice consensual non-monogamy, including their intersecting marginalized identities,” the website for the task force of the APA’s Division 44 explains.
The work of the task force, which is led by psychology Ph.D.’s who are based in California universities, promotes “awareness and inclusivity about consensual non-monogamy and diverse expressions of intimate relationships.”
Division 44 of the APA is the Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity.
Among the expressions of sexuality that appear to fall under the consensual non-monogamy umbrella, according to the task force website, are polyamory, swinging, “open” relationships, something called “relationship anarchy” and other kinds of “ethical” non-monogamous relationships.

APA … i think they got the spelling wrong:
American Pathological Association
I would challenge anyone to define “intersecting marginalized identities.” I am sure if someone were to offer a definition it would sound better than mine: “We are thoroughly messed up in various ways, so maybe things will go better for us if we stick together.”
It sounds as if it is an oxymoron. If people’s identities are intersecting, how can they be marginalized? (Laughter.) Makes no sense at all, except to the senseless.
God help us! This agenda gets attention, but true love and sacred sacrificial marriage does not. Our future is at stake! We can’t allow evil to prevail.
This recent decision helps show that the two APAs are engaged in a pattern of enabling behavior which is co-dependent. The more bizarre they become, the more their prior decisions are seen for what they are: politics rather than science.
I thought this was called “hooking up”. Nothing new. As the Book of Proverbs says, “There is nothing new under the sun.” It has all been done before with the same disastrous consequences — diseases and broken homes. Even the Old Testament speaks of wasting diseases — aka AIDS and so forth.
“If you keep these Commandments (against sexual sins), you will have none of these diseases.” Mankind seems to never learn.
This is another indicator we are living in a post-Christian, post-modern culture. Polyamory, or bigamy, is contrary to the moral law. Also, the children in these situations are almost always negatively affected and have relationship difficulties in adult life.
They need a dog in the photo to complete the “consensual non-monogamy umbrella.” But no leash – remember it’s consensual.
Has the whole world gone nuts?
And the APA has purported credibility why ???
