‘Parent 1’ and ‘parent 2’ could legally replace mom and dad in France
If France’s new Socialist government has its way, mothers and fathers will cease to exist — in legal papers, that is.
Legislation that would legalize same-sex marriage and give homosexual couples the right to adopt children also would replace the terms “mother” and “father” with “parent 1” and “parent 2” in all legal documents, including birth certificates.
The proposal has outraged France’s religious establishment and triggered a wave of criticism from many who say such changes to French law should be put to a public vote.
“A referendum must be held to allow a real debate,” Dominique Rey, Roman Catholic bishop of the southern region of Frejus-Toulon, said in an interview with online news outlet Nouvelles de France....
Why not keep it way the way they had it, just go out and say daddy(mommy) 1 and daddy(mommy) 2... daddy(mommy) 3(if they are Morons sodomites[never known this days, it could be possible]).
I wasn't alive when homosexuality was removed from the list of mental illnesses, but I bet people were probably predicting this runaway slide at that time.
"The Catholic Church is defiant on the issue. After a meeting with Interior Minister Manuel Valls, France’s senior Catholic cleric, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, warned that “same-sex marriages would pave the way for polygamy and incest.
“It would amount to a breakdown in society,” the cardinal said. “The consequences could be countless. Afterwards, they will want to create couples with three or four members. After that, one day maybe, the taboo of incest will fall.”
Reacting to the church official’s remarks, Bertrand Delanoe, the Socialist mayor of Paris and one of France’s few openly gay politicians, told French radio Europe1 that Cardinal Barbarin clearly “flipped his lid.”
“It is very shocking and even surprising coming from him because I consider him a wise man,” Mr. Delanoe said. “I don’t know what came over him, and what he said was downright ugly.”
