Polyamorous Oakland family finds parenting easier with two moms and a dad
SF Gate ^ | March 11, 2015 | Amy Graff

Posted on 03/12/2015 9:33:08 AM PDT by C19fan

An Oakland family has found what they think is the key to a happy household: three parents. Two women named Melinda and Dani Phoenix and the man they both consider their husband, Jonathan Stein, are in a polyamorous relationship and parenting two babies together under the same roof.

Melinda and Dani began their relationship as a lesbian couple and became domestic partners in 2010. A year later, Jonathan joined them as the third partner and the three married last summer in a ceremony that is not legally recognized.

Now they’re sharing their story to raise awareness about polyamorous families and hope that some day these arrangements can be widely accepted and legally recognized. With children entering their picture, they feel gaining support from the community is more important than ever.

” the man they both consider their husband,”

Polygamy is a h*ll of a lot more natural than homosexual relationships. Not the best, definitely, but better. One wonders how “lesbian” the 2 women really are.

as I said you have that right, and so do I. It seems you think you are protected by your god card and this site from any consequences of being an anti gay bigot.

"god card"? Lol, there are a whole bunch of biological, social, economic, and First Amendment issues which society should shun homosexuals, transsexuals etc... behaviors which my friend is far from your misuse of the word bigotry. Tell me, what is the natural biological sexual response system with homosexual behavior that enhances society? Your anger implies that you might have experience playing around those perverted behaviors.

Also the only bigot on this thread is yourself because your irrationality blinds you to the fact why that "god" condemns those behaviors in the first place. Seek help please.

sorry I am not christian so you need to be good with your god. To me that is just your concept and not something that is of any concern or threat to me.

That was basically the context of my post. Because you believe you think everyone should and I find that to be nothing more than arrogance.

You were not first on this land nor will you be last.

No, read my post again you bigot filled hatemonger against rational people who understand biology, marriage, Natural Law, and stable societies; all understood before the Christian cult shaped Western Civ.

Besides being a cankerous bigot, you are a historical ignoramus and fail at reading comprehension as well, bravo bigot.

No your just a homophobe gay bigot who plays the god card in all things. We are not even a monogamous species, that is a cultural/christian thing and there are stable societies all over this world who practice poly marriages.

You just turned into one of those ugly arrogant Americans who believe, and insist, that it must be our way or it is wrong. Proud of yourself yet?

Sorry, no card playing here. People play the race card, in your case the God card, in a way intended to end all argument so they do not have to present any rational stance that is provably true and supported with absolute facts. You are arguing your faith, playing your god card, and I reject both.

Make a rational argument based on provable truth and fact. If not your done.

The only irrationality that is being displayed here is you defending the mentally ill. I already listed several biological concerns with homosexual behaviors in males, in females you have more of a tendency to become clinically depressed (Because reality gets in the way of their sexual make-believe being mentally ill) and like all that promiscuity lesbians run risks of STDs/ovarian cancer.

It costs around $370,000 for HIV treatment per lifetime. Bisexuality and homosexuality put a strain on the taxpayer. Homosexuals life expediency is a lot lower than heterosexuals which means they will exhaust resources earlier in life you dingbat. (Read those biological facts upstream like anal cancer and such). All self inflicted by the way, now tell me who is irrational and irresponsible you cankerous bigot.

the way you want it to be seen is that if everyone sat in your church every Sunday no one would ever be sick or die.

BS...

For your words to be true and have the impact that you are hinting at a high percentage of the gay population would have to be HIV infected, and they are not. In fact there are more HIV infected people who are not gay. Fancy that.....

The largest portion of our nation who become depressed due to a sexual activity and outcome would be postpartum blue.... Which is a direct result of your many woman belief...

Your about out of strikes....

Before I respond and link primary sources that refute your passionate misguided bile, answer my question about what is the natural biological sexual response system of homosexuality asked in post #46. Your answer will make everything you claimed irrelevant.

Wait, before you try and answer that simple question explain why the CDC says:

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men particularly young black/African American MSM, are most seriously affected by HIV.

This is like shooting perverted bigoted fish in a barrel.

Also drug use and skewed stats that try and hide bisexual behavior/hetero sexual promiscuous anal sex (Which is also damaging to society) with the homosexual propaganda you might pimp does not work. Its all unnatural and should be shamed/shunned by an honest society.

Now try and answer that question that conforms with a natural biological act that carries the species forward you cankerous bigot.

Exactly what does that quote mean???? And I want facts not your god stuff or what you want it to say...

Do you need a sixth grader to explain that to you???? Much more money going out for this disease for straight people than gays... That was your bitch and it just went down in flames.

And then we go directly to the name calling game and that is what people with no argument do when all else fails.

There is absolutely no number in society where the gays cost us more than straight people do. You started an argument that you can not win so now you just call me names.

Yes you are an anti gay bigot. You and those like you are the reason that the republicans will not be winning the white house any time soon. The independents will not support people who think like you do and without them the Republicans will not reside in the white house. The stupid will never learn they just scream louder.

THEN IT’S NOT A MARRIAGE!

No, it's not a legal marriage. The covenant of marriage (and yes, even plural marriage) existed long before governments decided to start taxing, regulating, and licensing marriage.

A baby has exactly two parents.

These days children often have several adults parenting them and all too frequently it's the grandparents finding themselves parenting to grandchildren who've been effectively abandoned by their selfish birth parents.

No sexual response system I take it from your homosexual camp. Not surprised why since Natural Law is a fundamental enemy of homosexual behaviors.

So you favor perversion and are proud to be an anti-Christian bigot (You are the one who started the name calling before I even posted a response to you)? Did you even click on the link or read my response? You make accusations conclusions without evidence or understanding.

Rationality (Opposite of bigotry you idiot) calls for shunning homosexual behavior, not promoting the perversion, so how can one be an anti-homosexual bigot?

Since you have not directly responded to my inquiries (The CDC link and perverted heterosexual behaviors you blind bigot) or even attempted to comprehend my posts, I assume you are just some idiotic perverted troll who hates Truth.

When a person who initially goes on the name calling route first and then has the audacity to accuse/project that on others bothers me. I thought he/she would be more engaging but the hypocrisy (Or just a big troll) brings me to my wits end. Sorry for the disturbance.
