"Triad marriage" is a kind of a sad thing to Google. The conservatives of the world are terrified of it, and it's a Fox News talking point against all nontraditional marriage. Dan Savage is not optimistic about it, but he can be so old-timey sometimes. But poly families are so cute!
Dan Savage is down with the non-monogs, but I just think he doesn't really understand poly. On his podcast, he's always saying, "I've been to poly weddings but I've never been to a poly third anniversary party." He seems to project this image that if you're poly, you have to have a triad-plus relationship, and if you're just non-monogamous, you're either a friend with benefits or you're hooking up outside of your partnership just for fun sometimes. It makes me mad sometimes, but yet I still like his podcast and I think he's cool.
