Beautiful social movements have seen the growth of positive social spaces for both queer and swinger or polyamorous communities. While many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer spaces are sexually open, not all sex-positive swinger or polyamorous spaces feel safe and welcoming to queer participants. In this episode, Adrian Martin, a long-time community organizer with a foot in both worlds, explores how sex-positive community organizations and social groups can create a more inclusive environment for queer and trans participants.

And I think a lot of times it's easy for us to get critical of how organizers or
organizations build spaces for people to connect.
But we have this opportunity to be positive and learn from each other,
to be humble, to recognize that we're all coming from different positionality,
whoever we are, whatever our life experiences are, we're gonna make mistakes.
And we can stay together and it's worth trying from whatever place we're in,
