A polyamory advocacy group is calling on Facebook to allow users to list more than one romantic partner on their profiles.
In an open letter last week, the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy , told the tech giant that Facebook’s current relationship status feature was ‘exclusionary’ towards people who practise‘By restricting users to one relationship status on their Profile, non-monogamous individuals are arbitrarily prevented from expressing the full range of their connections on the Facebook App,’ said the letter.
The letter argues that since Facebook does not restrict the number of ‘family members’ that can be listed on a user’s profile, it should allow users to ‘indicate all of their romantic and intimate partners, without limit’. ‘By expanding the recognition of non-monogamous relationships on the Facebook App, Meta will improve users’ ability to present their most authentic self on their Profile,’ said the letter addressed to Tom Alison, the head of Facebook App., also referred to as consensual non-monogamy, is a term encompassing a range of relationship practices involving multiple partners, with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved.
