I am not "Parent 1" and my wife is not "Parent 2"!

Attention Citizens! Our gender-neutral future is at hand!

I meant to write about this last week but the Tucson shooting tragedy pushed it off my radar. What is "it"? The U.S. State Department has replaced the terms "Mother" and "Father" on their passport applications with the generic labels "Parent 1" and "Parent 2". We are all "its" now.

We mustn't offend the non-traditional family units! Offending millions of normal American parents is just another day at the office for our Progressive Overlords in the Obama Administration.

Quite Rightly is not amused.

Little by little the government normalizes deviancy. Tax forms already use the generic "spouse" in place of husband and wife; although the IRS does still note that for federal tax purposes a marriage is the legal union of one man and one woman.

Sooner or later that'll change to "legal union of two disparate individuals of opposite gender" or some other such gobbledygook. And then, of course, to "Taxpayer 1" and "Taxpayer 2". It's inevitable.

How long will it be before public schools adopt the same gender-neutral terms? This is the kind of politically correct idiocy that is tailor-made for the educratic establishment elites. Naturally feminist orthodoxy will also demand that the female womyn parent be identified as "Parent 1" (or counter-intuitively in the case of same-sex couples, the more butch lesbian).

But why stop at two parents? The Big Love demographic deserves official recognition too! Once the government starts numbering us they can easily add more "parents" to the mix. Two gals and a sperm donor? Why shouldn't "Parent 3" have legal standing? The more parents the merrier. It's even Sharia compliant! That there is what the PC crowd would call a "win-win".
