More and more requests are coming in from media (newspaper and magazine journalists, radio and television producers, documentary filmmakers) seeking those involved or experienced in polyamorous relationships and/or consanguineous romantic or sexual relationships, whether initiated through Genetic Sexual Attraction or not. As usual, I’m talking about consensual relationships, not abuse.
The right media projects can greatly advance the rights of people in these relationships by raising awareness and showing people that these relationships are nothing to fear, and are often quite beautiful and healthy relationships.
So, what I'd like is to know who is willing to participate, so I know ahead of time who would help with something like this. Before you say "not me!" please continue reading.
If you’re worried about what you’d say, don’t be. I am willing to prepare you for that if need be. However, what they’re usually looking for is just for you to talk honestly about your relationship.
Different projects are looking for different levels of participation (see #5 below) so even if you don’t want to have your name and face associated with the relationship labels that seems to scare some people, you might still be able to help.
If you would consider participating please email me at fullmarriageequality at yahoo dot com. This would be for MY information. I will not be publishing this information.
Let me know:
1) Who you are. If I’ve been in contact with you or run your interview on my blog, that should be easy. But otherwise, let me know what your involvement is/has been. Does your situation meet the definition of Genetic Sexual Attraction or were you raised together/by one another, or are you not close genetic relatives but still considered by some “incestuous” (stepfamily or adopted siblings or parent/adult child, for example.)
2) The name you want to use with media/the public.
3) The best way for me to contact you.
4) The best way for someone from media to contact you, or if you need them to contact you through me (see #3.)
5) What you’re POTENTIALLY willing to do. (“Potentially” meaning you MIGHT be willing do this, depending on your impression of the project and the people involved. Do not include anything you’d NEVER do.) Include all that apply:
"I might be willing to..."

Post a Comment
To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
