Honour thy Parent One and Parent Two (updated)


Goodbye, Mom and Dad. Hello, Parent One and Parent Two.
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."
Eleison, kyrie.

HOLLYWOOD, September 11, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) –  Defenders of marriage have long said if the institution is redefined beyond one man and one woman, there is no clear end to the new combinations that could be considered “marriage.” A growing body of evidence shows the popular culture, led by Hollywood elites, do not intend to stop with same-sex unions.
Nick Cassavetes, the director of the romantic film The Notebook, told reporters at the debut of his new film that incest is no different than allowing same-sex weddings. “Love who you want, isn’t that what we say? Gay marriage – love who you want,” he said.
“If you’re not having kids, who gives a damn?” the son of legendary director John Cassavetes and actress Gena Rowlands asked in an interview with The Wrap while premiering his new film, Yellow, which features an incestuous affair between a brother and sister.

[Update 22 septembre 2012]  Whispers of something similar  possibly impending in France:
Il y a encore mieux , dans le projet Taubira (qui a un peu fuité , semble-t-il) les termes Père et Mère disparaîtront du livret de famille au profit de Parent 1 et de Parent 2 , et pour le nom des enfants ce sera au choix ou les deux noms de Parent 1 et Parent 2 ou peut être un numéro.

Note:  This is a reader’s comment, not from the body of the article.  It might be satire, but … it’s hard to tell, anymore.
When I was younger, the very notion of “gay marriage” would have seemed a satire, and in very bad taste at that.

[Update 7 October 2012]  You fancy I exaggerate?  Wish it were so.
With so much marital pluralism and private ordering already available, why not add a further option — that of polygamous marriage?”

The slope just gets slipperier, the further down you slide, owing to the spillage of body fluids.
