Poly at the Good Men Project

A collection of 10 poly and related articles (so far) has gone up on the widely noted online men's magazine The Good Men Project ("a glimpse of what enlightened masculinity might look like in the 21st century").

Most were published in just the last few days, following a call for submissions that got (ahem) forwarded to the Polyamory Leadership Network. You can still get in on this.

There's some good material here to save and pass on. You may recognize some of the names:
