What about Parents 3, 4 and 5?

sigh. what else will they ask for next?

It won't shock me at all if this would go to a court one of these days. It sounds they are doing it against the law since the Fed doesn't accept same sex marriage.

Since when do parents have to be married to be parents? This has nothing to do with the POS law that is DOMA.

Exactly. Last I checked, both parents were listed on a passport regardless of if they were married or not.

in 50 years rwns will be going on and on about how the woman should be parent 2, oblivious to the irony that she used to be called mom but they lost that fight.

You think 50 years from now, these questions are going to be paramount?

I like your optimism concerning our trajectory.
