hm… Freudian typo?
Mom and Dad, same-sex couples or blended families, California law is clear: No more than two legal parents per child.
…State Sen. Mark Leno is pushing legislation to allow a child to have multiple parents.
“The bill brings California into the 21st century, recognizing that there are more than Ozzie and Harriet families today,” the San Francisco Democrat said.
…Designating multiple parents in such cases could enhance the child’s prospects for financial support, health insurance or Social Security benefits, thus reducing the state’s potential financial responsibility…
Split custody ain’t enough with a kid living half the week one place and half in another. Now the kid could get to “live” for 20 minutes a week with each of half a hundred “parents”. weeee.

It takes a village,
or polygamy.
Maybe you should be able to fill out a form to choose your parents.
Maybe you should be able to write yourself into their wills, too.
(Some legislators need rail transportation, right after their tar&feathering.)
Should make for some interesting child support issues when mommy #23 kicks daddy #7 out of the commune.
So now a single anchor baby can get a village into the US!
Food stamp/rent baby for all the mommies and daddies.
I,m so confused.
I’ve never actually prayed for an earthquake before, but……..
Well, if a person is attracted to girls AND guys, wouldn’t disallowing marriage to both be discriminatory and racist?
Leno thinks this will get him a TV gig at 11:00 pm.
He’s not funny though. Just an asshole.
Proving to me for the billionth time: “California, The World`s Largest Open Air Insane Asylum!” {…no disrespect to THE ASYLUM, intended…}
Lookin’ forward to the first “line” marriage… and other, more esoteric, arrangements.
This is just the first step, folks.
They’ll first change the law so that kids can have multiple parents.
Then they’ll define what makes a person eligible to be a parent.
Then they’ll add the “right to good parents” laws.
Then, when, magically, cases arise where a child has no “qualified” parents, who do you think they are going to suggest raises the child?
It’s what they’ve been heading towards for a long time now.
“California may recognize more than two parents, but biology is a little more hard-nosed.”
And if you were raised by a pack of wolves?
Why do gays hate Ozzie and Harriet so much?
^Just the evil ones.
People who didn’t have Ozzie & Harriet growing up, don’t have it now, and believe they have no hope of ever having Ozzie & Harriet need to ridicule and hate the Ozzies and Harriets to feel better.
As is typical, up here the specimens who championed queer nuptials absolutely refused to even discuss the idea that polygamy would be next. “That’s ridiculous, you HATER!!”
(My retort was “what about incest?” Only two involved there …..)
So yeah, this doesn’t surprise at all.

Reminds me ….. did the idea for the name of The Asylum come from Douglas Adams?
Mom1, Mom 2, Mom3, Mom4, Dad1, Dad2, Dad3, and Lester the Chimpanzee.
Wait! Chimpanzees are illegal in California. For now.
The genders and marriage issue is different. This is about opening the door for the government to be officially declared the parent/guardian of a child.
This all got started with two lesbians having a spat.
No, really.
And now it’s the usual assault on religious freedom and free speech. Happens every time.
Google “gay lesbian ‘ozzie and harriet’” and see what comes up. I am not kidding. They HATE Ozzie and Harriet.
And what’s with the Fifties reference, anyway? How many Americans know who Ozzie and Harriet were?
I honestly have never seen Ozzie and Harriet … and I’m old!
Ozzie and Harriet WERE “born that way”.
a cluster of parents… and for all the Hell Romney is going to catch this Fall for being a Mormon the real polygamists reside in the California Legislature…
COL Jerry (#9): The state isn’t an asylum. We round up all our real loonys and put them in the Home or the Incurably, Positively, Completely Insane.
Also known as the State Capitol.
Caged Insanity (#11): Remember the old saying about things like “to live a long time, choose your parents carefully”? The
inmateslawmakers in Sacramento have just made this possible.Typical future family dialog:
KID: Aw, mom, please can I go out and play?
MOM: Go ask your other mother.
They may hate Ozzie and Harriet, but to make up for it, they just luuuuurrve Judy Garland.
Why just human parents.
No doubt people, in such as California, be marrying animals or themselves or into polygamy or polyandry.
How about some visit time for Fido? Or the ‘sheep next door’.
Or he can say, ‘Hi dad dad dad dad’ as he is dropped off to one of the husbands of the polyandrous woman.
You see where all this is going, right? Hell might as well all be test-tube babies and the government raises them like chickens (or maybe that is the way they want it to go.)
