Intersection of Polyamory and LGBTQ+
Comparing polyamory to LGBTQ+ identities often happens in discussions about social justice, rights, and visibility, but the comparison can be both helpful and problematic depending on context and intent.
Polyamory and LGBTQ+ identities aren’t the same, but they share common ground. Both challenge societal norms and face stigma for how people love or identify. While LGBTQ+ identities often reflect core aspects of who someone is, and polyamory is more about relationship structure, both deserve respect, visibility, and autonomy. Solidarity matters. The unique histories and struggles of each should be honored.
Author of Polyamorous Romance
Hi, I’m Liz Ellyn – writer of steamy polyamorous romance, passionate dog owner, and part-time baking addict.
With Defending Engagement dropping on June 3, it feels like the perfect moment to (re)introduce myself.
My other why-choose romance books include:
Overruling Judgment (Reader’s Favorite Finalist, Literary Titan Silver Book Award Winner)
Loving two men, she risks devastating three hearts unless she commits to both.
Willful Parties (Literary Titan Gold Book Award Winner)
Sustaining their epic MMF romance demands more than luck.
When I’m not consuming mass amounts of hot coffee or writing fiery scenes, I’m listening to romance audiobooks on dog walks with Boomer (a Bernese/Cavalier mix) and a ruby King Charles Cavalier.
Literary Titan Review for Defending Engagement
Defending Engagement by Liz Ellyn
See the full @literarytitan book review at https://wp.me/p3cyvH-zBI
BLURB:
JD, Ian, and Sasha share a love that’s passionate and all-consuming. Behind closed doors, their polyamorous relationship burns with undeniable heat, but beyond their Chicago home, judgment waits to tear them apart.
At the O’Malley family’s annual St. Patrick’s Day party, whispers turn to outright condemnation—immorality, illegality, and taboo desire. JD and Ian fear the scorn will drive Sasha away. They underestimate Sasha’s ability to eviscerate closed-minded arguments and fire to defend what’s hers.
It is time to take a stand and defend their engagement.
Vampire Day 2025
I’m a fan of all these vampire books:
Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith
Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward
Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice
Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris
Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton
I can’t wait for the release of The Black Dagger Brotherhood on Passionflix (Amazon Prime) on June 5
When will Anita Blake get a series or movie?
Red Poppies for Memorial Day
Red poppies symbolize remembrance on Memorial Day, inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields” by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.
Which came first: Polyamory or Monogamy?
As polyamory becomes more visible in modern society, I found myself wonder: Which came first, polyamory or monogamy?
It turns out that polyamory actually predates monogamy, rooted in early human lifestyles and survival needs.
My next question: Is polyamory making a comeback to meet some modern societal need? It’s clearly not the only factor, but it might be part of the reason we’re seeing more people explore non-monogamous relationships today.
Curious to hear your thoughts: Are we evolving back toward something older, or creating something new?
