No idea if they're queerplatonic since (from personal experience) the allo world seems to think queerplatonic is interchangeable with best friend. In any case, I think it's rad that Canada has legally recognized two non-married friends as parents.

I do, too :) I don't think romance is always totally necessary for a couple to be good parents; caring about the child and being willing to work together as adults/a family are important factors, though.

I would go so far to say that it is totally unnecessary.

 

btw, very nice "couple" those two!

Awesome! This might affect me in a few years, if I have someone who's a big enough part of my future child's life to warrant that.

 

Also, Elaan is super cute and seems really happy.

Wonderful! In Spain it coul only be possible if the unmarried friends were the biological parents, which I think is vetoed for two women, except if the child were conceived by assisted reproduction and a recent court ruling includes the case.
