Is Today April Fool's Day By Any Chance...???


Folks...

(*GRITTING MY TEETH*)

...you're not going to believe this:

The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.

I truly don't know what to say...

“The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"

(*MASSIVE MIGRAINE HEADACHE BUILDING*)

A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.”

And you don't believe the inmates are running the asylum... that the Obama executive branch is out of control?

Sprague said the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness.

NOT an act of political correctness...???

Folks... these people are DELUSIONAL...!!!

“We find that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago,” she said.

There's a sperm... there's an egg; the sperm comes from the male - the father - the egg comes from the female - the mother. Has evolution somehow been turned upon its head since Barak Hussein Obama took the Oath of Office as President of the United States...???

“Changing the term mother and father to the more global term of parent..."

STOP...!!! I can't frigg'n take it any more...!!! This is lunacy...!!!

“Our government needs to recognize that the family structure is changing,” [says Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of Family Equality Council.] “The best thing that we can do is support people who are raising kids in loving, stable families.”

SPERM... EGG... PENIS... WOMB...

Folks... no matter what sort of family dynamic we're talking about - take the penis and the womb right out of the picture if need be - we're still talking SPERM... we're still talking EGG...

(*HEAD READY TO EXPLODE*)

The new gender-neutral passport application will be rolled out in February.

Yeah... February in Orwell's 1984... Obama's 2011.

* UPDATE - 1/9/11:

In a bid to forestall a backlash from congressional conservatives, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has ordered the State Department to amend a bureaucratic change that would have eliminated the titles "mother" and "father" in favor of the gender-neutral term "parent" in passport applications and other documents.

The State Department said Saturday that Clinton had instructed the department to retain "mother" and "father" in passport applications as well as in a form known as a "Consular Report of Birth Abroad" that U.S. embassies use to document the birth of a child to expatriate Americans. It said the forms will now ask for the names of the child's "mother or parent 1" and "father or parent 2."

Well thank frigg'n God for small favors...!
