So plumtreeblossom and I (and docorion and many other people we know) were quoted extensively in a great story on polyamory in today’s Boston Globe magazine. The print edition has photos of me and docorion as well as the photo of Alan and Michelle that’s on the online edition. The online version (linked above) has a video that docorion and Alan (W.) and Michelle were interviewed for ( Read more... )

You were already famous from starring in articles on polyamory :) Weren't you (and wex and pygment) in the original Boston Phoenix article from the 90s, and a couple of others since?

This one may be the best one so far, though.

Nice article. I saw it this morning, but totally didn't realize there was a video to click at the top!

Congrats! The article and video were better than any popular coverage I've seen thus far. Well done. :)

I am curious how the five of you were chosen for this. :)

The Globe actually had a hard time finding volunteers for this. Hardly anyone was willing to risk participating because of the sensationalist and sexed-up tones of previous articles. So we weren't chosen per se; we were what was available. I was extremely dubious. Indeed, I didn't let them use my last name, I was so fearful that we were being duped into a scandal-mongering article. But it turned out better than we'd all dared hope. Perhaps it will open the door for more poly people to share their perspectives with the media.
