"Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation allowing children to have more than two parents."
Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, stressed that his measure applies only to families with more than two people who meet the state's definition of a parent. It does not apply to stepparents, grandparents, girlfriends or caretakers. In an interview, Leno said he expected the law to be used sparingly, such as when a child could be at risk of unnecessarily entering the foster care system."
Leno's measure grew out of an appellate court case involving a biological mother, her same-sex partner and a man who had an affair with the mother while she was temporarily separated from her female lover. In the 2011 case, the California Court of Appeal held that courts could not recognize more than two parents even if doing so would protect the child from harm."

See, when I do or write stupid shit, you gotta consider the context, and just think to yourself: "He can't help it - he's in California. It's a cultural thing."

I'm guessing it's no longer allowed to call California the land of the fruits and nuts.
Glad to see my state government is tackling the most important issues of the day, and not silly stuff like our looming pension crisis or outstanding debt load.
Actually I shouldn't snark. They could have been using this time to pass their umpteenth anti-gun law.
