Let the foolishness begin. Now we don’t have mothers and fathers. I still haven’t recovered from the girl winning damages about 20 years ago for being called a water buffalo. Now we have this, and out of the State Department no less!
According to the Washington Post:
The State Department has decided to make U.S. passport application forms “gender neutral” by removing references to mother and father, officials said, in favor of language that describes one’s parentage somewhat less tenderly.
The change is “in recognition of different types of families,” according to a statement issued just before Christmas that drew widespread attention Friday after a Fox News report.
The announcement of the change was buried at the end of a Dec. 22 news release, titled “Consular Report of Birth Abroad Certificate Improvements,” that highlighted unrelated security changes.
I don’t care if gay people adopt children or have children by whatever means that happens. But, I am not willing to become parent 1 or parent 2 for the sake of a situation that rarely occurs. As far as I am concerned, the gay parents can just flip over who gets to be the mom and who gets to be the dad.
