As title states.

But also, can I get some advice from the community? After a long while, I finally lifted the veil over my eyes and came to terms with the fact that I am totally and unapologetically homosexual. But I've been married for a long time so we're trying to make it work and just extend ourselves to polyamory. I've booted up a dating profile, but should I include that I am a baby gay? Do I include my open relationship? Or are those things to talk about in person? Any advice?

Definitely be open about being married. They don't need your life story up front, but you save a lot of time on doomed conversations if they start off knowing that. I'm not sure about any homosexual apps, but back when I used it PoF and OKC had options to specify things like that in your profile so people could filter by your relationship status.

PoF = Plenty of Fish. Its what worked for me.

Not sure what PoF is like these days but last I heard (a few years ago to be fair) they would ban you if you said you were polyamorous and point you towards Ashley Madison, since they were a little bit too religious to even be nice about it.
