Parent #1 and Parent #2

Here we have another "sing of the times"...U.S. passport applications will now drop the terms "mother" and "father" and forever more be replaced with "parent #1" and "parent #2".

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

“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.’"

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

“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.

Gay rights groups are applauding the decision.

Now that the ball is rolling fast with the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell"....we would expect all sorts of gay friendly legislation to come rolling down the pike.

Friends, we aren't creeping towards Sodom and Gomorrah...we are sprinting there.

Lord have mercy on us....we know not what we do.
