Three dads, no mom, one birth certificate — and a legal system that shrugs. In this episode of Politics with the Big Dogs, Anthony digs into the exploding world of “throuples,” where courts in Canada and multiple U.S. states are granting three adults full legal parental rights over a single child.
Anthony walks listeners through case law from California and Delaware to Florida, Maine and beyond, and then asks the question no one in Austin seems eager to touch: What happens when these three-parent families move to Texas, enroll their kids in our schools, and demand full recognition under our laws? Along the way, he connects the dots to Hollywood’s normalization campaign — from drag-queen story hour to gender-transition storylines in kids’ programming — and how those cultural wins pave the way for radical legal experiments that put children in the crosshairs.
In the second half, Anthony turns from the courthouse to the highway, calling out Rep. Jeff Leach for siding with foreign, non-English-speaking truck drivers over Texas families. Against the backdrop of deadly 18-wheeler crashes and new federal rules cracking down on non-domiciled CDLs, he contrasts Trump and Governor Abbott’s push for basic safety with Texas Republicans who seem more interested in protecting dangerous drivers than protecting the people they kill.
If you care about parental rights, child safety, real Texas values and simply being able to survive a trip down I-35, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
