Leunar Miranda

Active Contributor

I was born in Germany, and moved to Mexico at a very early age. I lived there until my early twenties, and until my departure had only a vague notion of what kind of non-monogamic relationship i wanted to pursue in life. Later on, already in Italy, i read about polyamory for the frist time, and began looking for a support network, a community on which to rely in order to fulfill my life, and my newly-found status. But what I found was not yet a community, or perhaps not yet a scene. And that's what I've been going through right now, helping as much as I can in putting it together, in making it work. Poly's in anglosaxon countries need to find a support network and then to insert themselves in it, to fit in. I... me and the italian polys, had to pick it up at an earlier stage.
