Summary
In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins dive into one of the most provocative cultural shifts happening today: the growing inclusion of polyamory as a protected sexual identity alongside the LGBT+ framework. They explore: * The historical “slippery slope” arguments from the gay rights movement (and how the left once fiercely rejected them) * Why polyamory is now being mainstreamed in progressive spaces * Biological, psychological, and cultural variance in monogamy vs. polyamory * Striking parallels (and differences) between polyamory and same-sex attraction * Why Malcolm now argues we should treat polyamory similarly to being gay — not as something to celebrate or condemn, but as a neutral biological/psychological variation They also discuss family structure, reproductive fitness, leftist organizations like Black Lives Matter, legal changes in cities like Somerville and Cambridge, historical quotes from Dan Savage and Evan Wolfson, Catholic priests and lesbian nuns, biker culture in gay history, and much more. A raw, nuance-heavy conversation that challenges both progressive orthodoxy and conservative reflexes. Expect tangents on everything from Mormon cuckoldry porn searches to ramp foraging and steak dinners. Episode Transcript Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello Simone.
