“Gender Neutral” Passports Reduce “Mother” and “Father” to Equivalent of “Thing One” and “Thing Two”

Rainbows, the word gay, and the color pink; these are just a few of the things that militant homosexual activists have stolen from the mainstream culture and remade in their own image. Militant homosexual activists have just won another major battle in the culture war and this one is truly shocking.

U.S. passport applications filed this year will no longer identify parents as ”Mother” and “Father” but as “Parent One” and “Parent Two.” With the stoke of a pen, the State Department has degraded marriage and parenthood to the level of Dr. Seuss’ “Thing One” and “Thing Two”.

I saw this yesterday somewhere. Parent 1 and Parent 2. I guess many mothers are going to be pissed out there when Dad gets first place. lol.

We passed the ‘enough is enough’ stage several decades ago.

So how much is this going to cost taxpayers? Knowing how our fiscally irresponsible government works, you know they will not just reprint new ones when the old ones run out, they will throw out all the mother/father ones and make us conform to the gays and the new forms will no doubt cost millions of dollars.
I have an idea- let the gays pay for their very own specially printed passport form instead of making everyone else jump through their gay hoops.

I truly believe those in charge are just pushing everyone to a breaking point.

"Rainbows, the word gay, and the color pink; these are just a few of the things that militant homosexual activists have stolen from the mainstream culture--"

While it is a virulent attack on culture, homosexual 'marriage' is primarily designed as an attack on the Catholic Church, which alone elevates marriage to the level of Sacrament. (Marriage is one of the seven holy Sacraments of the Church). Diminishing our culture like this is a tragedy, but desecrating the sacred is a mockery in the face of God. Our government has allowed such irreligious travesties many times now in the guise of "freedom", but this is just one more mockery of God to add to the list, and one more slap at the natural laws and institutions He has laid out for man to follow. One must wonder how long our Lord's patience will continue, and one must tremble to think what will happen when it runs out.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap". (Gal. 6:7)

You ask as if they care. They should but they don't.

“Gender neutral? Last time I checked neutral genders didn’t produce babies. Unless there is some crazy, new, “Island of Dr. Moreau” kind of technology that I haven’t heard of, it STILL takes contributions from both the male and female genders to produce a child. I’m sorry to disappoint the militant activists, but you can perform any kind of word gymnastics you want, but two girls or two guys, even if they are in a “committed and loving relationship” can not produce a child; even if it’s in a test tube.”

Not quite. Technology now allows us to create an embryo using DNA from any two sex cells (male, female, etc). It is now possible to have a biological child from two same-sex parents. It still takes a female to grow the embryo but that can be bought. I don't agree with this agenda but the “biological” argument will soon be irrelevant.
