In many ways they are a traditional family: Cliff and Dave both work, and Britt spends her days looking after Gareth. All three adults settle on the couch at night to watch TV once their son has gone to bed.

Because of ignorance or outright discrimination, some people just seem to react negatively to poly folk.

Britt, Cliff and Dave aren’t 100 percent sure of Gareth’s paternity. They think he might be Cliff’s in a biological sense, but none of them sweat the details. “It truly doesn’t matter who his genetic father is, because I am his father and so is Cliff, and I will continue to be his father for the rest of his life,” says Dave.
What does worry them, however, is how their precarious legal status might come into play now that Gareth is nearing school age. Britt and Cliff are married, and while both would very much like to marry Dave—and vice versa—that’s currently out of the question. They fear this could pose a problem when it comes to Dave picking Gareth up from school or signing hospital or other legal documents on his behalf.

The easy dismissal of rights for polyamorous families is a sore point for them all, especially Britt. She says she’s been labeled a whore who can’t commit to a regular relationship on more than one occasion, but that doesn’t worry her as much as the lack of legal protections for her family.
Both she and Cliff describe being frustrated when the same-sex-marriage debate picked up steam on a national level. Though both are ardent supporters of marriage equality, they feel thrown under the bus when activists are quick to distance themselves from polyamory and the idea of plural marriage, . . .

“I would like to have the benefits that married people have. Benefits apply to relationships when you get married that you don’t have otherwise. I look at that and think, Why can’t we?”

They had been polyfidelitous (that is, only sleeping with one another) since moving to the West Coast, but in recent months Britt has struck up a romantic friendship with a new guy, and Dave has started dating another woman. This doesn’t mean they’re any less committed to each other, . . . .

More than two NEVER works.
More evidence that America has entered an era of post Christian neo pagan decadence. Remember, Obama was not elected and reelected in a cultural vacuum.
Polyfidelious; the newest example of what oxymoron means.
I say just do it and be weird; but NOOOOOOOO; they’ve gotta tell the world about it.
I have been polyoreorous my entire life...
She will run off with another woman and the two doofuses will both pay child support.
group “marriages” and polyamory and many waiting for the kids to blossom too probably
“Obama was not elected and reelected in a cultural vacuum.”
CORRECTION:
...Obama was not elected and reelected...
“Mom, Dad, and Dad”

Slut, Pervert, and Pervert
If only we were more tolerant!!!
Social Conservatives said this was next after homosexuals wanting the right to marry and we were right.
What’s funny is in discussions with homosexual marriage advocates they argued against polymarriage by saying marriage was a union of 2 people...had a good time telling them they were hypocrits denying a union to people who loved each other!
“Dad and Dad”

You are in denial. This country is a far different place than the one you seem to think it is.
Of course it was. Optimistically, I'd say we're about twenty years out from full-on acceptance of these kinds of "marriages" --maybe quicker if certain religions start demanding them. With stories like this one, they're testing the waters. More will be coming.
I'm only surprised it isn't the two gay dudes in this story who got married, leaving their "wife" free to collect welfare benefits as a single mom.
The ONLY third person one should have in their marriage is JESUS CHRIST!
Remember how they mocked when they were warned.
