I think it is extremely ambiguous about what “talk about polyamory” is, for example I imagine many people (tbh I’d guess more than 17% of EAs) would find it unpleasant if there’s regular and unavoidable discussions of whether polyamory* is net bad for society, EA, etc, in their workplace. I’d personally be fine with it if other people are, but there’s always going to be a part of me that’d be tracking whether people are likely to be non-visibly upset etc.
Now whether a non-work topic being upsetting means people shouldn’t discuss it in the workplace is debatable. I think it’d be too draconian to have workplace rules against it (at least by what I understood to be coastal American norms), but having soft norms against it seems probably preferable.
*other examples that might fall into this category: monogamy, body positivity, feminism, Christianity; I’m sure people can generate other examples.
To be clear, when I voted that talking about polyamory in the workplace is OK, I meant someone telling a coworker about their own life/preferences/experiences.
