The ordinance being considered would make "family or relationship structure" a protected category under Olympia’s current civil rights protections. Polyamory generally refers to relationships featuring multiple romantic partners, in contrast to typical monogamous relationships.
It would include, but not be limited to, "The composition of interrelationships within a household, involvement in intimate personal relationships between consenting adults, non-normative and non-nuclear family arrangements, including multi-partner and multi-parent families, blended, (step) families, multi-generational households, single-parents-by-choice, chosen families, and similar configurations," the city of Olympia said in information shared with Fox News Digital.
