Should being polyamorous considered a sexuality?
I personally don't think of it as a sexuality but more as a mindset, I see it being called a sexuality in some LGBT media but I just think it's a mindset a person has that they are okay with having multiple partners.

Note: I'm neutral on this matter and genuinely don't care if you want to have one partner or multiple, it's not any of my business.

"Should being a gigawhore be considered a sexuality?"
No. No it should not.

I thought that was just being a big fluzzy?

It is. If you make a list of all the possible sexualities, it will be on that list.

Does it make any difference if it´s considered a sexuality or not? I couldn´t understand the people who want to recognize it as such, and i couldn´t understand the people who would oppose it to be recognized.

But of course it wouldn´t define a sexuality if it´s only about the amount of people. If anything it´s some kind of fetish if people can only have sex with multiple people at a time. But that´s not even what polyamorous is - or is about - it doesn´t even have to be about sexual activities at all.

The alphabet soup gang will discuss whether or not to include polyamory after they come to a consensus on the bestials and NAMBLA. Just wait your turn.
it should be considered a very poor life decision

The only reason to categorize it as a sexuality is to normalize it. It's no longer considered deviance but "valid' in the eyes of society.

But society's a dumbass anyway so.

But it doesn´t matter if society sees it as valid or not, as it´s about these people who want to live a certain way - and of course that they´re not harassed by people who have nothing to do with the people, but that usually doesn´t happen anyways, even if the majority sees it as invalid.

The only thing would be marriage with multiple people - and as it´s connected with certain rights and tax benefits, it´s probably not going to happen, except all people are treated equally in that regard - and marriage by itself would yield no advantages any more compared to a common relationship.

Yes. Which means everybody is a LTBBQ+ person, whether they want it or not. Very meaningful movement then.

They keep changing the labels of things, over time.

In the end its all a bunch of justifications for basic animal behaviors, polyamory is simply, many lovers, the married form is polygamy/polygyny/polyandry.

I don't think they have a term yet for bi variant of that kind of mass marriage. Not sure it'd be legally recognized anyway. Is more of a cult thing to do, so...

1) not everything has to be part of the lgbt lot
2) its just another name for the village bicycle
3) i have multiple partners because I am a man but wont call myself polyamorous

It´s just a bigger family - but with the difference that they mean it for real.

It's everyone's business. GenZ doesn't know jack about safe sex, contraceptives and how to prevent the spread of STDs like syphillis, Hep C and HIV. We've got testing clinics and health PSA billboards popping up all over the place here in Ft. Myers, but not because of the Villagers this time around.

safe sex is easy to learn, wear a balaclava
