LJ's bold lesbian communities

[devifemme]

In the past two months, I've stayed in touch with two amazing lesbian communities dedicated to developing intricate poly relationships. I just asked a girl from one of them how old she was, having decided she was likely a hell of a lot wiser than her years would suggest. I was right; she responded that she was "almost 24" and her primary partner

Which communities are these, J? Or are you waiting for permission to post that info?

Yup, you guessed it. I just might have made them a bit uncomfortable, plunging ahead like that. But they are pretty laid-back about things.

Paciencia...

There ARE a number of bisexuals in the groups, I believe. And they seem to have some members in New York, as my casual survey seems to suggest... indeed, some are in several European capitals. Not that I'm trying to entice you... hey, you're straight, as far as I know.

But then we have to clarify for people that we're not a biological family (although some of us are related by blood, and many of us are bi and a few of us are even *male*), we're a "logical family"~ Love is our blood. We're a family by love, choice, intention, vision, design, with a "design for living." But most of us landed here by serendipity or destiny, not so much by design. Our present & future are what we're forever designing/redesigning. And within the Island family we have smaller families we call courts, our courts are very important here, and we have a sister family, the Hexagon. The Island + Hexagon = the Magic Circle or just "Circle" which we also call the "
