The Relationship Bill of Rights

New fundamentals are required when forging relationships where people can thrive outside the limitations of restrictive societal holding patterns—like misogyny, queerphobia, or the stultifying gender roles enabled when monogamy is the only accepted relationship structure. The Relationship Bill of Rights is a blueprint for fostering transformative relationships built not on patriarchal notions of possession, coercion, and tolerance, but on the liberatory premises of consent, agency, and honesty. Initially published as part of More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory, this is a blueprint for setting boundaries for all relationships, romantic or otherwise.
