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

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.

"Yes you are an anti gay bigot"

Wow...that one managed to fly under the radar for a long time.

I’m reading some of his posting history. He was a prime candidate for an eventual zot.

I really enjoy them when they begin to froth at the mouth and get that frenzied wild stabbing at cobwebs of ideas. It restores my faith in level-headedness.

That is always a hoot!

BTW, trolls are avoiding posting threads for fear we will abscond with them.
*Harrumph*
How inconsiderate of them!

Twelve years of lying low, darting around and hiding out under some mossy rocks?

Apparently, this time, you took too long in running between the mossy rocks that you've been hiding under!

Looks like you shouldn't have stopped to screech and bellow about GOD Cards and such, eh?

Reddy Kilowatt and the Viking Kettehs are really, really quick, aren't they?

Now you'll be "virally famous" on the innerwebs for an eternity! Teenage girls will forever be running across your story while googling "Zotted" and "Zot Jokes".

Overly concerned girlfriend will forever be "Overly Concerned" about you.

If you wish, submit multiple copies of the FR Butthurt form (triplicate usually works).

Be sure to sign up for "Obama-lama-ding-dong-care" and request an immediate "Cranial Relocation" operation.

Well ..... after the flames die down sufficiently of course.

Do take advantage of the many free (or at least low cost) self-help courses available on the innerwebs. The one below sounds like it might just be tailor made for you and your situation.

Oh yea, and if you try to sneak back on FR, be sure to use a signup screen name that will fool everyone here. You know, something like: "oldenuff2nobetterbutdidn't".

True, but he should have been more considerate.
He should have made it a thread all of its own.

Unless there’s two of these threads I’ve already been beaten over the head by a anti-Christian poster on this thread.

” I also have the right to object when I see anti gay bigoted zealots trying to dictate how others should live.”

And yet you have no problem with the Pro-Homo zealots who wish to dictate to everyone what they can and cannot do, believe, pray, read, buy, etc?
Can’t even own your own business without some butthurt pansy homo flouncing in and throwing a fit.
Sorry, society does NOT have to cater to every infantile whim of mentally disturbed individuals.
And we have Freedom OF Religion, not freedom FROM religion.
We are free to practice what we BELIEVE.
If your butthurt pansy arse doesn’t like it, too freaking BAD.
Take your purse and flounce elsewhere.
Don’t like that a business is a Christian business?
GO ELSEWHERE.
That would be the ADULT thing to do!
But NO, Homos have to shove it in everyone’s face, so they litigate!
