California is considering a law that would make it possible for a child to have more than two legal guardians. I am in favor of this law for two reasons. One, it gives children an extra blanket of protection from being taken by the state in the event that their parents are killed, or deemed unfit or some other equally terrible situation. For example, the child of two lesbians or two gay men could go back to the sperm or egg donor who helped concieve them (That's if they opt for this. Custody won't be forced on anyone who doesn't want it). My second reason is that kids often form parental relationships with people other than their parents (I did) and having three legal guardians could be a way to help them cope with the fact that they love another adult the same way they love their parents. I don't expect a lot of people to be in favor but there's my two cents.
