Marriage ‘equality’ for same-sex couples? That’s so yesterday.
"ABC’s Nightline hyped a polyamorous, “trailblazing triad” on Thursday evening, highlighting the threesome’s “unusual modern family.”
"The segment began with a shot of the throuple in bed together with their two children, who share a father but were each born to one of his “wives.”
“ 'This triad wants to make it clear that they are not polygamists,” ABC’s Abbie Boudreau eagerly explained, and that they are all sexual partners with each other. This arrangement began when Melinda Phoenix decided she wanted to add a man to her “marriage” to Dani, a woman.
"Two lesbians decided they desired a masculine man. He impregnated both of the women and their children were born five weeks apart." . . .
ABC's 'Nightline' Spins Polygamy as 'Normal'
What is most disturbing about this report was the portrayal of polygamy as just a normal way of life and the implications such a view has. The story was reported by ABC News correspondent Cecilia Vega who claimed that "the residents of Centennial Park say they want to show just how average, how normal their lives are," and that the idea of polygamy is "a fundamentalist version of a modern family."
