what all did you (and the other panelists) talk about? in general? (or whatever you are allowed to talk to others about who weren’t there for the discussion!)

I also wish for answers to these questions.
At the panel there was:
- a woman in a long distance marriage (her husband is in the military)
- a lesbian* relationship
- A woman in an unmarried relationship who had a child
- Me! (primary focus was on the polyamorous bit, though I guess I would qualify for being in queer, long-distance, and interracial relationships?)
- A gay relationship
- A guy in a temporarily long-distance interracial/interreligious relationship
- and a single person
The students there, who were all 9-12th graders, asked the whole panel questions about what kind of adversity we had faced in our relationships, what our parents thought about them, (for the queer folk) how we felt about being in a non-normative relationship, and some other questions.
I got asked about how I balanced spending time with people, if I had ever dealt with problems of jealousy, and my feelings on marriage.
I made sure to stress the importance of consent and lots of talking about feelings to make relationships work, and how polyamory was about sharing love with people, and not about trying to get with everyone.
