“I have been covering the push for the normalization of polyamory for several years now, as human interest stories on formalized cheating came into vogue. In California during 2017, a ‘throuple’ of men first successfully petitioned a judge to put all three of them on the birth certificate of a little girl named Piper before authoring a book titled Three Dads and a Baby. Several U.S. cities, including Somerville and Cambridge, Massachusetts, have approved family benefits for polyamorous clusters over the past few years. These stories seemed to fizzle swiftly.”
