A Superior Court judge has ruled that children in Quebec can have more than two parents and ordered the province to revise its laws within 12 months to legally acknowledge other family dynamics.
The issue was brought forward by La Coalition des familles LGBT+ and three separate “multi-parent families” who say laws in the province that restrict parenthood of a child to two individuals discriminates and infringes on the rights of security of the person, integrity of the person, freedom, dignity, and privacy.
