The “rights” ideology for the LGBT community started out with homosexuals demanding they be left alone to live their chosen lifestyle.
Soon that was expanded to demand that they be treated as a privileged part of society, and their “rights” protected.
It expanded quickly to encompass lesbians, bisexuals and more, even transgenders, and the requirements for the rest of society soon were that those outside the community had to not just tolerate and respect them, but promote their ideologies.
Words were created, like “homophobia,” for those who didn’t accept the same-sex beliefs.
Even “minor-attracted” individuals, or pedophiles, have been demanding recognition and rights.
Now it’s moved to the next level, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
It’s because of a ruling from a Quebec Superior Court that found that it would be “unconstitutional” not to provide “legal rights” to so-called multi-parent families.
Sometimes they are called “throuples,” where three people are in a “relationship.”
Polygamy and polyamory are the defining ideas.
Involved in the case were several groups of people: a man and two women who share children, a lesbian duo and a male sperm donor, and a trio where the husband had a baby with his wife’s friend.
“In these times when the right to equality is savagely attacked, it feels good,” said Marc-Andre Landry, a lawyer who fought for the change.
The report noted the law only applies to parental “units” that were set up before the conception of a child, not residences occupied by step-parents or others.
The movement so far has had a limited impact in the United States, where most states allow recognition of only one or two parents.
The report noted that the Quebec government now will have to amend its law to reflect the change, although an appeal still could develop.
Technically, polyamory and bigamy still remain illegal in Canada, following a 2011 court ruling that affirmed the limits. That was based on the fact the potential harm to women and children outweighed concerns over “personal freedom.”
