Guessing you didn't actually read the news then?
The terms will be used on official documentation, parents won't be forced to be called Parent 1 and Parent 2 by their children.

You mean "caregiver" don't you? I don't even do that professionally, but I know the term. I didn't know "carer" was a word.
Maybe not in New Atlantis, but it is round these parts, whereas Ive never come across the term caregiver in all my life until you just used it. Im guessing we're from different countriesedit on 12-10-2011 by waynos because: (no reason given)
From what many have said here. It is already happening here in the states. Read up on of the other posts....

Well, seeing as this is happening in the UK, no one in the America, that's for sure.
Clearly you didn't read the news, I mean, it even has EU in the link..
How is it going to cost? Paper gets printed every day, I think it takes a second longer to delete Father/Mother and edit it to Parent 1/2, copy and paste and you're done.

Nope not a joke, about high time, kids with a two mothers or two fathers get the same rights as every other Couple in the UK to have both their parents on their Passports. Takes away the discrimination against gay couples. You do not have to agree with it. It is happening wither people agree with it or not. And it is not Political Correctness as you put it.edit on 12-10-2011 by AnonymousFem because: (no reason given)

Not in my name. A marriage = one man and one woman. A relationship = one man and one woman. A family = one man and one woman + their children. I will never change my views, no matter how hard they try and force them down our throats.

Disagree with gay marriage if you like, but are you seriously telling gay and bi folk that they can't be in love? Do you also deny that fact in straight couples? A relationship is what exists between two (or more) people. And you have no control over it.

Europe to destroy traditional family and sexual identity

(visit the link for the full news article)
Traditional words ‘father’ and ‘mother’ will be replaced with official terms Parent 1 and Parent 2 in Britain. The terms will be used in official documents. The authorities decided to make such a “politically correct” move to accommodate same-sex couples. Experts are sure, though, that the matter is not about the requirements of certain social groups. The decision is another step towards the destruction of traditional families.
