'Mother,' 'Father' Changing to 'Parent One,' 'Parent Two' on Passport Applications

Why not just “egg donor” and “sperm donor”?

Since the State is now raising most of the kids anyway, wouldn’t that be the most Communist-friendly way of putting it?

*******************************

I don't know-some could be offended by that.

[stompk]

I have breasts;that automatically makes me a female.What else could I call myself? What’s there to be confused about?

pics or it didn't happen.

Birth Certificates are under the purview of states, most of which are still sane.

[DBeers]

Take note that this change deemed necessary by elite bureaucrats, that is claimed to have nothing to do with political correctness; but rather, is a change to reflect "reality", misses the sniff test when it comes to birth certification.

I can understand the passport application 'loophole' the leftists exploit; HOWEVER, how exactly is a child born without a mother and father?

Here is the CLEAR nonsense:

Consular Report of Birth Abroad Certificate Improvements

Media Note
Office of the Spokesman
Washington, DC
December 22, 2010

The Department of State is pleased to announce the introduction of a redesigned Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA). The CRBA is an official record confirming that a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent acquired U.S. citizenship at birth. The redesigned document has state-of-the-art security features that make it extremely resistant to alterations or forgery.

This lunacy is bad enough -what though of the cost? Should we waste taxpayer monies to appease a few perverts that feel offended by reality?

Speaking as a teacher...

I’d tell your 14-year-old to go ahead and write an accurate paper about the history of AIDS in Australia, which would have to include some mention of the homosexual community in order to be complete. Make sure the paper is written well, with good spelling and grammar, as well as proper citations. If the teacher complains, calmly tell the teacher that either the paper is accepted as an accurate and complete report, or you’ll file a grievance with the state standards and practices commission. You don’t have to shout or be defensive. You’re the person who’s right. Calmly state you reasons and the consequences of the teacher’s actions. My bet is that the teacher will back down, give your child a good grade, and let it go rather than decide to fight and die on this particular mountain.

Good luck with your fight for the truth. This teacher has your back.

What if a parent wants to be known only as a Father or Mother?

[libh8er]

The country is being lost before our eyes.

“Changing the term mother and father to the more global term of parent allows many different types of families to be able to go and apply for a passport for their child without feeling like the government doesn’t recognize their family,” said Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of Family Equality Council.

So I looked up the "Family Equality Council" :

Jennifer Chrisler is the Executive Director of Family Equality Council (formerly Family Pride Coalition), the national LGBT families. Formerly Chrisler was an assistant to her current partner, former MA state Senator Cheryl Jacques, and she was at the center of a controversy after receiving very large pay raises by Jacques.[1] Jennifer holds a BA degree from Smith College[1][dead link] and resides in Newton, MA with her partner, Cheryl Jacques and their twin sons, Timmy and Tommy.

Jennifer Chrisler(L) , her fag partner and the two abused children:

[RegulatorCountry]

Let me guess ... undiverse male parents will mysteriously always be listed as “Parent Two” under this new, progressive, “gender neutral” parentage identification scheme.

[reg45]

You are either a “breeder” or an “extincter”.

[reg45]

There are those who believe our current President pees sitting down....

and that he doesn't poop because he is full of s**t.

[stuartcr]

That’s going to be weird, positive minus and negative plus.

[freekitty]

This is more like a Nazi agenda.

I was walking my dog last night. Just as a neighbor walked by, I happened to say "Good boy" to my dog.
Neighbor said "You can't say that"
me "Can't say what?"
neighbor "boy"
My eyes rolled to the back of my head. I kept on walking.

Sorry to correct, but I believe that would be termed ‘Moobs’.

Here is the source of the change:

Family Equality Council got the feds to use gender-neutral language on passport applications!

Dear Supporter,

Our stories are powerful!

We have collected thousands of stories about the way discrimination and inequality impacts you and your families. Time and time again, you told us that applying for passports for our children was one of the most difficult and stress-provoking experiences of being an LGBT parent. In response to these stories and because of Family Equality Council’s tireless advocacy on behalf of our families, the U.S. Department of State has announced new, gender-neutral passport and Consular Report of Birth Abroad forms. The new forms will use the title of “parent” as opposed to “mother” and “father”.

I remember early in my tenure as Executive Director at Family Equality Council I heard the story of one of our parents, living in a rural area, who had gone to apply for a passport for their child. She and her partner went to the post office, adoption papers in hand, only to be confronted by a passport application that said “mother” and “father”. They didn’t know what to do, they didn’t want to lie, they were angry that our own government made them feel second class and they were afraid to ask the clerk for clarification, fearing discrimination or harassment.

That is why changing the US passport application to more accurately reflect the diversity of America’s families has been a top priority of Family Equality Council. Together we made that change happen.

This work is part of Family Equality Council’s larger effort to ensure that government programs and services are available and accessible to the one million LGBT families raising two million children in the United State. We will change more forms, we will open access to more programs and services and we will continue to be your voice, advocating for our families, with the President, with Congress, with America – ultimately securing equality for ALL families.

Thank you for what you do to support family equality. I am truly grateful.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Chrisler
Executive Director
Family Equality Council

I think this last paragraph in particular, especially the second sentence, is an indication that this is merely the “tip of the iceberg”, so to speak:

This work is part of Family Equality Council’s larger effort to ensure that government programs and services are available and accessible to the one million LGBT families raising two million children in the United State. We will change more forms, we will open access to more programs and services and we will continue to be your voice, advocating for our families, with the President, with Congress, with America – ultimately securing equality for ALL families.

>>How many Homosexuals are there<<

2 to 3% on average across America. In DC there is probably 40% or more. That explains why they are pushing so hard to get accepted.

I’ll have to obtain a copy of Brave New World. I never
cared much for Huxley, so I don’t have one now. Should
add a Huckleberry Finn to the list, and make sure I’ve
got one of Orwell’s 1984.

[little jeremiah]

I want to get BNW and 1984, which I never did read; although I read some of Orwell’s other books.

AFAIK Orwell was a communist and changed after visiting Soviet Russia. Got his eyes opened.
