California children can now have more than two legal parents

Big news in California: Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation on Friday that will allow children to have more than two legal parents.

Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) said he authored the measure to address the changes in family structure in California, including situations in which same-sex couples have a child with an opposite-sex biological parent.

Pedagogy of the Undressed: It’s Poly Time!

Hello and welcome to another installment of Pedagogy of the Undressed! This week, we’re going to explore the wild and exciting world of polyamory!

So I have a question about polyamory. My cismale SO and I just decided to open up our relationship. I have my OKCupid account and I’m pretty excited about an upcoming date. My question is mostly what are the guidelines? I don’t want to hurt any feelings. I don’t know how open I should be with my peers. If my SO is seeing someone who is also in an open relationship, where will they have sex? Do I have to be comfortable with strangers in our bed to be GGG?

Thanks!

Pondering open lifestyle

So, for folks ...
