(CNN) -- Revelers in the rainbow-washed crowd smiled and cheered this month as the little blond girl in the parade float pageant-waved to the B-52's "Love Shack."
Next to the float, the girl's father, Billy Holder, handed out fliers to the Atlanta Pride Parade crowd. His wife, Melissa, carried a banner along with Jeremy Mullins, the couple's partner.
"Polyamory: Having simultaneous close emotional relationships with two or more other individuals," read their purple-lettered banner, embellished with an infinity heart.
They've learned the need for discretion. They said a family member reported them to Georgia's Division of Family and Children Services, alleging child abuse and prompting a weeks-long investigation. The Holders said it ended with no charges being laid and their daughter remaining in the home. Georgia's Division of Family and Children Services did not return multiple phone calls seeking comment.
But the experience also informed some of their desire to change public perceptions of polyamory.
So they march, and organize and raise their daughter the best they can. Their meetup groups continue to grow and they're looking forward bringing in new speakers to 2014's Atlanta Poly Weekend.

Yes it is. Grown out of the 60s “if it feels good, do it” mentality. Too he!! with the consequences, it’s all about MEEEEEEEE.
I was wondering when the next affront to marriage would begin...
This should come as no surprise to those who have read Marx.
He had called the nuclear family an “ abomination”, we “abolish eternal truths”, “abolition of the family!”, “We destroy the most hallowed of traditions”.
Now, look at the modern Democrat and Republican parties as they destroy Natural Law, the Family and Tradition.
Any difference, besides the rhetoric ?

Confused parents raise confused children. It’s the nurture part of nature/nurture
As predicted, once the mainstreamed homosexuality they would mainstream polygamy, then child molestation.
The Mormons will bring back polygamy through this.
Some believe this is why Mittens supported the domestic partnership bill that EVERYone told him would lead to sodomite marriage.
Why don’t they just stick their wankers in a light socket— and hook each other up with a mult-outlet extension cord. It is ALL about un-potty trained children who want what they want, when they want it. Ancient Rome revisited with vacuous empty people with no lives of any kind of creation or invention.
As predicted by many here — and was denied by its advocates . “Gay” “marriage” was followed by the demand for acceptance of additional perversions.
And is it is coming much sooner than expected.
Now that the cat is out of the bag with gay couples adopting children, Family Services has no leg to stand on based on any lifestyle.
However, unlike gay marriage, which the government is all for, the government will never abide polygamy. The reasons are not do to any societal norms; after all there aren't any. The reasons have to do with TAXES. Polygamous marriages can effectively block the government from ever collecting inheritance taxes. Consider the hypothetical chain marriages described by Robert Heinlein; effectively these were marriage lines designed to never end with younger partners being brought into the marriage over time to replace those who died out.
Whack job.
I don’t know about begin, I’ve got a group of friends that have been in a trinary for 15 odd years. CNN just finally noticed. It’s always seemed overly complicated to me, but it works for them.
Begin ?? It’s been going for DECADES. Perhaps you’ve heard of “swingers”. Same basic thing, only they’re getting political now. What I expect next is a push for normalization of pedophilia. . .
How consenting adults chose to order their lives is none of anyone’s business. Unless there is the immediate threat of physical harm to someone it’s none of the States business either.

Poly’s?
...but...but...homos...and Jesus!
/as long as they aren’t bothering anyone innocent (like children), who cares?
//been married 26 years and don’t feel threatened
And, so it begins. I have been saying for YEARS that if traditional marriage is tossed aside for “marriage equality” then marriage is doomed. Because once you decide that marriage is not a union of one man and one woman, so that “gay” people can get married; well, what is so special about the number two? Nothing. So, now group marriage. It is the logical progression of this leftist tripe.
Children are not "consenting adults." They are forced into this madness, and because of PC views like yours, the state is now powerless to remove them from it.
You obviously have a reading impairment of some kind. And the less power the State has, the better.
I’d trust a polyamoric group to raise a functional human adult 1000 times before I’d trust DCFS to do it once.

I see that I read you just right.
