				| Who can tell me where to look for positive polyamory rolemodels in the media? Every film I can think of that touches upon polyissues seems to resolve into the principal characters making a choice and forming a monogamous relationship with one or another of their lovers. 
 I can think of no prominent polyamorous media commentators or politicians, and never see poly-friendly stories in mainstream print media in my country (New Zealand).
 Our laws have recently acknowledged that it breaches human rights to discriminate on ------ gender and preference bases and made same-sex marriages lawful.  But the inherent prejudice against polyamory and multiple life-relationships still remains.  Bigamy is illegal.  The law refuses to even acknowledge the validity of multi-de facto relationships.
 Is it different elsewhere?  Does anyone live somewhere that polyamory is accepted, and embraced as a valid lifestyle choice, and who can look to positve and prominent polyamorous role models in the media?
