Heard on FOX News (Bret Baier) this PM that USA Passports will change and Mother and Father will be replaced by Parent 1 and Parent 2. Does Hillary have to approve something of this magnitude?

You don't think she would prevent this important and needed change from taking place, do you?

Imagine your dilemma if you had been adopted by a gay couple. How would you fill in the current form?

With out commenting on whether we should have ever gotten into this mell of a hess or how we did, I wonder how children of divorced and remarried parents fill it out? What about single mothers? Would it be "Mother" and "BTSOOM"?

Well, in the case of divorce, I guess your mother is still your mother and your father is still your father. But in the case of a same sex parenting? I think you end up with two mothers or two fathers. I've never been an advocate of same sex adoptions. I don't care what two consenting adults do, but I don't think a child should be brought into the picture.

The whole concept of two parents is an anachronism - a large portion of today's society already has that experience, and since we have this uncomfortable situation with gay people (it is so unfeeling to reference a biological fact as "mother" or "father", "bitch/sire" etc.), why not just leave a blank for one guardian/parent/significant other. Less confusion for all involved, right?
