Open Forum: Where Does Polyamory Fit into the Queer Movement?

Parts of the LGBT community have been quick to embrace polyamory - relationships with multiple partners with the knowledge and consent of all involved. Others feel that polyamory is just another form of "licensed cheating" and for them monogamy is critical.

There is a lot of internal debate about the ethics and rights of poly families. Is gay marriage the first step, would you go on to fight on behalf of polyamorous families? Is a family only a two person structure a mom/dad, mom/mom, dad/dad, or can there be triads and quads of people who all love each other and raise children?

How does polyamory fit into the mold of the LGBT movement for political rights, is it a distraction, is it not feasible, or is it a new minority within that deserves attention. Regardless of your viewpoint please be respectful of others.
