PARENT OF INDETERMINATE GENDER!
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?!?
Over in Scotland, they're now censoring the words "Mom" and "Dad." Why? Because they "discriminate" against homosexuals and transgendered people who, unfortunately for the children involved, have children in their households.
If those "homophobic" words are spoken -- "Mom" and "Dad" -- then those children will feel confused and sad in front of nurses, teachers and others. It doesn't matter what the OTHER 99.9% of the children in this world might feel. Instead, people, textbooks and so forth are supposed to refer to you as "parent" or "guardian" or some other genderless, loveless, senseless, toothless, upless and downless term.
O . . . . K. Now, how long do you guess before this becomes public policy in the US of A? We've lost the American flag to the fruitcakes in Congress who think it should be burned . . . we've lost apple pie to the cholesterol police . . . and now we're going to lose MOM!?!?!?!?!?!
Over my dead you-know-what.
Here's the scoop on it:
