(LifeSiteNews) — In April, a Quebec Superior Court judge ruled that “multi-parent families,” like “throuples” — three people living in a loosely defined sexual relationship — should be granted the same rights as “any other unit.” By “unit,” the judge was referring to what we once recognized as the natural family: a father, mother, and their children.
Social conservatives predicted that if the natural family was legally redefined by same-sex “marriage,” it would open the door to the legal recognition of an ever-expanding number of sexual relationships. Once law was unhitched from reality, all limiting principles would be removed. At the time, social conservatives were mocked as bigots. But as the judge put it: “limiting the legal affiliation of children to one or two parents is unconstitutional.”
The judge ruled that Quebec has a year to modify the civil code to permit children to have more than two legally recognized parents. The province of Quebec is currently appealing the decision.
Just months later, it appears that the inevitable consequence of that decision has arrived: a three-year-old girl was placed for adoption with an “all-male throuple”:
For the first time, 3 men in a polyamorous relationship have been allowed to adopt.
The throuple picked a 3-year-old girl from Quebec’s child protection services, marking the province’s first such case for an all-male throuple.
The adoption was finalized “following a rigorous… pic.twitter.com/nce7f2zQjX

As CTV reported the news on September 12: “For the last seven years, Eric LeBlanc, Jonathan Bedard and Justin Maheu have been waiting to become parents together, something that happened when they became parents to a three-year-old girl Thursday.” The three men successfully adopted the little girl through the Quebec Youth Protection Services, after a failed attempt at an adoption through another agency.
One of the three homosexual men, LeBlanc, said that they fostered the girl for two years before gaining approval for the adoption. “Through that process they learned that we are a little different because we’re three, but we’re not different from any other family,” he told CTV. This, of course, is a lie so brazen only the mainstream media could have reported it with a straight face. This is a sexual arrangement, not a family. The little girl — who has, or had, a mother — has none in this arrangement.
This “adoption” is significant for several reasons. The “throuple” clearly wants to present the Canadians courts with a fait accompli; how can the judicial recognition of their sexual relationship be overturned when they have already successfully adopted? How can the courts decide to tear apart their “family?” I suspect that they will, without irony, state that it is necessary for the good of the little girl they have obtained that the Superior Court judge’s decision to recognize “multi-parent units” be upheld.
“We think that either way it might go all the way to the Supreme Court,” LeBlanc said. “But we’re saddened from the fact that we’re not backed by our own government, which is supposed to be an open government that wants to help every single family.” Not all three men are “legally recognized,” but CTV stated that “they are sharing the responsibility of raising their daughter equally and are making provisions to ensure that she is protected and provided for in the future.”
Again: When social conservatives predicted that scenarios like this would be inevitable, they were damned as bigots by the very mainstream media that now covers this story like a heartwarming fairy tale. In two decades, we’ve gone from: That will never happen, homophobes! To: Look at the wonderful story of three homosexuals who have successfully adopted a biologically unrelated three-year-old girl! Their family is just like any other!
Meanwhile, the LGBT movement has such a vise grip on Canada’s establishment that not a single federal politician or mainstream media commentator has bothered to protest — or even point out why this is wrong.
