This is where real choice comes in. I agree, feelings are separate from actions. >If we look at feelings (what Deb calls "being"), neither gays nor polys >typically have much choice about *feeling* gay or poly. No, "being" is not the same thing as "feelings". What I mean by "being" is something that's hard-wired to our physical circuits, is inescapable and over which we have no choice. Race fits here. So does a disability. Polyamory does not fit here, in my opinion. Deb
