Did you celebrate it with someone you loved?

SUMMARY:Polyamory\, Censorship & Liberty - What's Your Vote for the Future?
DESCRIPTION:Polyamory\, Censorship & Liberty\nWhat’s Your Vote for the Future?\nZoom 11 am to 1 pm | Live 11 am to 4 pm\, followed immediately by Paul’s 69th Birthday Party (4 pm to 11 pm)\nLed by Paul Gibbons\nPaul has been an activist for freedom most of his adult life. He has known (and recorded) major speakers on the subject\, including those who have made a difference in our right to choose the sexual/love styles which bring us joy. \nThis is a dangerous time following the reversal of Roe vs Wade and the discussion of other assaults on the freedoms we cherish by our Supreme Court justices. The passage of the Equality of Marriage Act could have been a step in the right direction\, but its deliberate exclusion of plural marriages is troubling. Paul will share with us how all this could affect the rights of those in the Poly community and what we can do about it. Bring your questions and opinions. \n\n1pm | PotLuck Lunch – Bring something healthy and delicious to share.  Since Paul’s 69th birthday is January 20th.

SUMMARY:Chosen Family & How Science Fiction Has Affected Real Families... followed by LTD WINTER HOLIDAY PARTY!
DESCRIPTION:LIVE & on Zoom: 11 am to 1 pm \nWe will discuss chosen families in both real and fictional life. Tell us about yours!\nLine Marriage: Multi-Generational Group Marriage\, triads\, and other unusual alternatives are described in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. While some of the choices made in this example are influenced by the lack of females compared with males on Luna\, some excellent examples of “different kinds of family” are offered here.  \nTime Enough for Love’s Tersius colony Family features a large group marriage 2000 years in our future consisting of many of our favorite characters from Heinlein’s other stories. Their only absolute for being part of this marriage is that all adults pledge to support and to bring up with love (until the age of maturity) all children produced by the ladies in the marriage already born or in the womb (at the time of the marriage)—whoever put those babies in their wombs\, co spice or not! This is happening on a planet where the government would not think of interfering in one’s marital choices and only your very advanced geneticist gets a vote on whom you make babies with. \nThe water-sharing ceremony in Stranger In a Strange Land is the best example of Family by Choice and has affected families in reality\, probably more than any other of his books. Church of All Worlds and many other less formal groups\, including my own intimate friendship network\, have used this as a model for permanent committed relationships which may shift from lovers to friends and back again multiple times during an ongoing relationship. Members of a Nest may live together or be “semi-residential.”  They may live nowhere near each other\, but maintain their bonds through phone calls and in-person visits (weekly\, monthly\, or perhaps a few times a year). The patterns are endless. \nThe common denominator is long-term loving commitment. Some of these relationships (including in our own Nest) have lasted 30-50 years and are not uncommon. Which science fiction writings most affected the choices YOU have made regarding family and relationship structure? Bring your own experiences to share with us! \nLIVE ONLY FROM HERE DOWN\n1 pm | Potluck Lunch  \n2 to 4 pm | Afternoon Activity: WE’LL WORK OUT SOME ACTION STEPS FOR HELPING YOU LIVE YOUR DREAM—whether that turns out to be group living\, a triad\, a group marriage or just being part of a joy-sharing intimate network. Our present group house got its start at just such an event in 2003… \nEnjoy Jacuzzi\, socializing\, and maybe a Poly or Holiday type movie in between the daytime meeting and the party. \n\nLTD’s Winter Holiday Party: 6 to 11 pm \nCrash space is available by arrangement when you RSVP by calling (818) 886-0069 \nSharing our holidays is part of what weaves the bonds of Family in a group like ours.
