Polyamorous NYC is an organization designed to nurture a prosperous polyamorous community in New York City. The group is diverse, including individuals, couples and groups of all orientations and genders. What brings us together is our shared interest in long-term, romantically-comitted, multiple-partner relationships.

In addition to the annual Poly Pride Day, we host two monthly meetings:

Discussion meetings
The monthly Polyamorous NYC discussion meetings occur on the third Wednesday of every month at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center. Each meeting typically centers on a topic, chosen in advance by the facilitator. For more information about the types of topics we discuss, below is a list of some topics from past meetings.

Polyamorous NYC also organizes occasional social gatherings for members and others in the community to mingle in a more informal atmosphere. As the location and exact date varies, please join the Polyamorous NYC Announcement list to get the details by email.

Polyamorous NYC values inclusion and diversity. Whereas our first interest is in polyamory itself, because we meet at the Center, naturally we have a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender focus. At the same time, we welcome and encourage membership from supportive Polyamorous Heterosexuals. We have common ground which needs to be explored together. The primary requirements for membership are an active interest in the urban Polyamorous community and a supportive view of the Gay community at large.
