West Hollywood is expanding protections for people in polyamorous relationships.
Under a new ordinance passed Monday by the City Council, people with multiple committed partners will soon be able to register for a new legal relationship status.
The ordinance allows three or more adults in a committed relationship to formally register with the city clerk as a “multi-partner domestic relationship.”
They must meet certain requirements, including being in a consensual relationship and not being related by blood.
People in these relationships will receive visitation rights at healthcare facilities and jails, as well as rental housing protections.
People living outside West Hollywood can also register their union. The designation could help document their relationships for purposes such as school pickups and hospital visits, even if they live in jurisdictions without similar protections.
The status does not provide the same rights as marriage or domestic partnerships under California law. But supporters say it’s an important step toward addressing barriers that people in polyamorous relationships face in housing, healthcare, education and other services.

I am already in a poly relationship. I have a boyfriend, meanwhile I am also married to my wife. They don't do anything with each other though.
I would like to have some sort of protections like you've posted here for our relationship, but i am not expecting it to happen here for a long time. Hopefully they will consider it though.
if i remember right you're in Texas? well you guys just turned blue so who knows. if your state does get it i would imagine a big city like Houston or Dallas to get this first.
Nah, I was born there and lived there most of my life but we moved a few years ago to the Midwest.
Don't think I could do but to each their own.
Whatever works for them, I prefer only person
