California moves to let gay men cite selves as ‘mother’ on birth records;
Llesbians as ‘father’ - The Washington Times
In California, it may soon be legal for gay men to list themselves as “mother” on birth certificates, and similarly, for lesbians to cite themselves as “father.”
In California, it may soon be legal for gay men to list themselves as “mother” on birth certificates, and similarly, for lesbians to cite themselves as “father.”
Or, the gay parent could simply opt for the more generic label of “parent,” The Associated Press reported.
That’s because lawmakers on Thursday passed through the state Assembly with a 51-13 vote a measure to “modernize” the definition of the family to reflect same-sex unions.
Currently, birth certificate documents in the state have a space for “mother” and another space for “father.” AB 1951 sponsor Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat who represents Los Angeles, says the form is discriminatory and demands revision.
“The definition of a family needs to be more flexible, and same-sex parents should not be discriminated against when filling out a birth certificate,” he said, in a press release. “Under AB 1951, same-sex parents will be able to accurately identify each parent as mother, father or parent.”
The bill heads to the Senate next week, Breitbart reported. It would take effect in 2016, if signed into law by the governor.

My comments: If this measure passes California will be winning the race to the Moral Bottom in America. Understand that when a nation REJECTS God's morality there is no bottom to the degradation that that nation will descend to.
