Three people in a polyamorous relationship recognized as legal parents of a child in Canada
A Canadian court has declared two men in a polyamorous relationship with a woman as legal parents of a child in the first such case in the country’s history.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court came up with a ruling in April, but it was only publicly announced last week. Canadian law recognizes polyamorous relationships, but bars bigamy and polygamy, in which the same person is involved in several marriages.
“Society is continuously changing and family structures are changing along with it,” Justice Robert Fowler wrote in his decision. “This must be recognized as a reality and not as a detriment to the best interests of the child.”
The trio from the city of St. John’s have been together for three years, the Canadian Press reported. The woman in the polyamorous relationship is the mother of the child, who was born last year, while the father remains unknown. The family members haven’t been identified in the decision.
The family went to court after Newfoundland and Labrador provincial authorities refused to grant all three of them parental rights, saying that only two people can be listed in a birth certificate in accordance with the Children's Law Act.
The Supreme Court judge acknowledged the argument, but said that the Children's Law Act, which was introduced three decades ago, couldn’t match the “now complex family relationships that are common and accepted in our society.”
Further proof that refusing to conform to bourgeoisie social mores is not enough to destroy western capitalism. Lifestylists have been eternally BTFO once again.

Oh, for fucks sake. One of these people did not contribute DNA to create this child. The arrangements these people have made for the child's care are irrelevant to whom it's parents are; "happened to be banging your mum in the asshole that night" fails the criteria for fatherhood.
Kevin Martinez
pretty sure parental rights are to do with raising kids not who's genetic material is involved.
I don't think this is going to be good for the child's development.
Caleb Evans
Kid will probably be fine until they find out it's "weird to have three parents" from media, peers, caretakers etc.
Jonathan Wilson
Why?
Jack Hall
Think about it anons. Three parents, three wages, that kid's gonna have a pretty comfy childhood.

tbh a 2-dude 1-chick relationship sounds like it could be pretty neat if the dudes were bi. I can't imagine it being very fun if you're literally just passing the chick back and forth tho.
The telegony link you provided even says that the theory is proven boo boo.
I guess you'd be hypothetically right if she was previously carrying fraternal twins impregnated from the separate fathers(is there any known instance of this happening?)and then one of them Dr. Ventured the other in the womb.
And they'll always be competing for affection, very comfy indeed.
Parent is a term which implies a lifeform which contributed DNA to some offspring. Those "rights" (and responsibilities) over the child are granted because of that. If this group wish to assign childcare responsibilities in an odd way, so be it. Should their relationship collapse, do you think the member of this trio who did not contribute DNA should have an equal claim on the child with the pair that did?
A chimera that would self-abort due to graft versus host disease and a wild assertion fresh from your rectum. How persuasive.

WHY WOULD CHAD WANT TO FUCK ONLY 8 AND ABOVE WOMEN WHEN HE FUCK THEM ALL, AND ALL WOMEN, BOTH SUB 8S AND 8S OR ABOVE ARE OPENLY AGITATING FOR THIS ARRANGEMENT, AND FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL TO EXTERMINATE ALL SUB 8 MALES?
Does society treat adoption in the same casual manner of reproductive sex? Adoption (and surrogacy for that matter) is an extremely demanding and cautious process, while any two humans with suitable genitals to bump together are allowed to spawn as much as they like.
Sssh.
Leo Hill
Yes there was a woman in canada i believe.
Nolan Parker
you're missing the point doofus
Nathaniel Bennett
How? What kind of household and upbringing is under capitalism?
Jeremiah Torres
Oh ok I guess.
Also plenty of shitty artists have pretty based opinions and vice versa. And >muh awards is pretty disspointing appeal to authority as well. Try not to do that again.
Jayden James
the point is that sexual politics are not revolutionary or radical in anyway. The "le sexual deviants are a revolutionary class" meme is just that, a meme. The bourgeoisie will literally cuck on all of their "values" as long as they get to stay in power.

Scarface is a wonderful movie and anyone who's had anything to do with it can't possibly be a bad movie maker.
Luke Lewis
Who hurt you user? But seriously, your argument is having sex in various ways is neither here nor there, therefore…..what?
Tyler Scott
Well yeah scarface is pretty great. Maybe he's a better writer than director for me.
Owen Williams
I don't care what people do with their pussies dicks and butts, it's irrelevant. What matters is that we overthrow capitalism, and what the OP proves is that idpol is not the means of doing that.
that's just burgers and protestants. in my country the divorce rate is 14%
Robert Gray
I didn't even read the first line and already knew it was two cucks and some whore
Surprise surprise… More proof women can't be revolutionary
Evan Jones
Who the fuck cares? What does this have to do with anything? This is the leftism board.
Jason Davis
having as many parental figures as possible is the best.
Xavier Cruz
nah
Evan Cruz
What does having more parents have to do with sex, retard? and it's not a perversion, either. If anything, monoamory is the perversion, humans back then had tons of sex with tons of different partners. Stop destroying my traditional relationship model, you shitbag.
I dotn know what to think about this. Yeah, its probably no good for the kid, but neither is having an asshole for a dad. Or a dad who wants you to be a certain way. Or a mom who babies you too much. Or a mom who doesnt baby you enough. My point being that parenting is incredibly diverse, and I have literally no idea how we could reasonably or effectively legislate parenting. What would the guidelines be? The goals? I dont know whats best for anyone in this subject, and I dont think anyone else itt knows either.
Luke Gutierrez
Seconding this
Jacob Moore
It should be спокойной ночи.
Zachary Edwards
nothing better than fucking a think from behind and making unload in a grill at your leisure tbh
See feminists ARE pushing cuckoldry. I was being screamed at not 2 days ago for saying so.
Kayden Martinez
How is it cucking if you're fuckng the guy too?
Caleb Howard
Go back to your Sargontube, yank.
Ayden Williams
come on dude they both ain't getting laid equally
Nicholas Williams
You motherfuckers are insulting Newfoundland's proud heritage of constantly cucking each other. We love cuckoldry so much we named one of our oldest harbours in the capital after our proud heritage
You know, that's cool too. I believe in reciprocal submission, I'd never give to a woman what she wouldn't give to me. 'In sickness and in health for better or for worse til death do us part' is a heavy vow to take and I don't take vows lightly.
It is literally my fetish to switch between submissive and dominant positions during intercourse, might have something to do with my political beliefs I dunno
Liam Jones
Canadians shall be amongst the first to burn in the last days.
Humans also murdered and raped each other and killed the offspring that weren't theirs, what's your point? Appeals to nature just make you look like a retard.
Benjamin Bell
…good for them, I guess.
Parker Carter
Thats retarded
Henry Perez
i've been in a relationship like this an i really enjoyed it
for whatever reason about a year in the other dude just stopped being into me and it broke apart ;_; we're still friends so i don't know what exactly was the problem
