Starting with a refection on how normativities position those who are outside the binaries. Starting from a critique of the concept of evaluation as a tool for acquiring rights (as it does not fnd a counterpart in the difer- ent-gender relationships), we then want to underline how to use these studies to the advantage of recognition applications for non-monogamous families and multi-parenting. In fact, the available international literature has given voice and confrmed what the many polyfamilies experience in everyday life: that these families (non-monogamous, open, poly, extended, with children * or not) are a social reality, are functional and balanced, with specifc benefts and criticalities. Starting from examples on the cancellation of bisexualities and homogenitorial recognition applications – we want to argue that to protect people and pursue applications for recognition, and rights, it is es- sential to conduct and appropriate research of this type, making them more authentic and policies.

Qando socialmente costruite nei discorsi condivisi, le non-monogamie sono tendenzialmente valutate su due livelli tematici: quello della stabilità relazionale (ad es., quando viene deto che “non funzionano”, “non durano”, “rovina la relazione”, “non mi adaterei mai”, “vuol dire che manca qual- cosa”, “c’è troppa gelosia”) e quello della morale (ad es. dire che “è solo una scusa per tradire”, “è indecente”, “è una perversione”, “non mi potrei mai fdare”).
