Homosexual throple allowed to adopt child in Canada A court in Quebec has granted three men in a homosexual polyamorous relationship full legal parental rights over a three-year-old girl, marking one of the most radical redefinitions of family yet seen in Canada. The case follows a 2025 ruling declaring that limiting children to one mother and one father was “unconstitutional,” opening the door to so-called “multi-parent” households.

All of it is Queer"We are so back" is a current meme indicating how some part of "woke" culture has been pushed back, but even the most anti-woke conservatives stand defenseless against gay culture.One of my favorite homosexuals of all time was Justin Raimondo, founder of Antiwar.com and author of the 2008 book Reclaiming the American Right, who once said that the best thing about being homosexual was all the sneaking around. That was when there was a closet; ahh, the closet. Most people in those days knew who was “that way,” who was “light in the loafers.” But they...
