3 Adults In Polyamorous Relationship Declared LEGAL Parents By Courts - First For Canada
Canada makes news and becomes THE FIRST (yet again) in LGBTQ rights
In what is believed to be a legal first in Canada, a court in Newfoundland and Labrador has recognized three unmarried adults as the legal parents of a child born within their "polyamorous" family.
Polyamorous relationships are legal in Canada, unlike bigamy and polygamy, which involve people in two or more marriages.
In this case, the St. John's family includes two men in a relationship with the mother of a child born in 2017.
"Society is continuously changing and family structures are changing along with it," says the decision, by Justice Robert Fowler of the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court's family division.
"This must be recognized as a reality and not as a detriment to the best interests of the child."
The April 4 decision says the unconventional family has been together for three years, but the biological father of the child is unknown. The family members are not identified in the decision, which was released Thursday by the court.
Watch for an interview.
Wonderful that Canada is yet again at the forefront of LGBT rights, unlike the USA which is going backwards
Jealous American bitches?

Are all these "polyamorous relationships" about saving rent money?

This is great news, now men will be able to have multiple wives, and that's always good for the women involved as well as society at large.

Jesus said it should be only 2 people!
So just marry one. And then in a few years divorce and marry your 2nd partner. And then next decade divorce again and marry your 3rd partner. And then divorce the 3rd partner, in order to be allowed to re-marry your 1st partner again. Because you feel nostalgic and realise the 1st one was the best! Rinse and repeat.

This is troll bait. There is no gay relationship and this is no LGBT issue. The woman sleeps with both men.

Many people (especially the rich) fuck around on their partners anyway. It doesn't matter if polyamory is official or not, it's already here & happening.

Surrogacy is officially banned in many European countries - so a 3-way co-parenting arrangement actually makes sense in that context.

if there was ever 3-way sex, the two guys probably played with one another, while having sex with the girl at the same time, so it does fall under LGBT

Incorrect. It doesn't make sense to still have (consensual) bigamy as a FELONY with a potential prison sentence. It's OTT.

We live in a word where recording public sex for pay (porn) is legal (US), prostitution and escorting is legal (most of Europe).
But 3 people marrying (particularly bisexuals) - hell to the no!

So let's get this erm straight.
If a man has two wives is bigamy or polygamy. Uncool when white trash or brown peoples do it.
If a woman has two husband it is polyamory. Or polyandry, but that's not so cool and hip.
Got it?

Can we please be done with this Polyamory fad? It's just a couple of narcissists and one pussy who goes along with it because he/she believes they are only worthy of half a relationship.
And bringing kids into the circus is a shitty thing to do.

Every self-proclaimed polyamorous person I’ve ever met - and there have been many - has been a duplicitous and promiscuous snake of a human being. Most had obvious underlying psychological issues, including personality disorders. They should all be on a registry so the rest of us can avoid them.

Are they as hideous as 'poly' 'familys' usually are?
I can't tell from those pics but they don't look as overweight as those types usually are, although the woman does have that horrible half shaved hair cut (probably dyed blue).
Perhaps this is what happened to bunnika? Canada has decent disability benefits doesn't it?
