West Hollywood finds time to give legal benefits to throuples

Published Updated



Californians are facing a litany of issues, from high taxes to unaffordable housing to gas prices. In West Hollywood, leaders have finally decided to deal with a major issue facing their residents: giving legal benefits to throuples.

The West Hollywood City Council unanimously approved an ordinance recognizing the legality of polyamorous relationships, allowing people with multiple boyfriends and girlfriends to enjoy many of the same benefits as married couples. This includes extending hospital (and jail) visitation rights to all of one’s “partners,” as well as expanding tenants’ rental rights, so long as your consenting, non-incestuous group registers its relationship with the city. (Yes, even West Hollywood has some standards, it seems.)
