France now bans the words “Mother” and “Father” from school forms to accommodate gay couples
In the wake of gender equality and same-sex marriage, schools in France will now be unable to refer to a child’s parents as their “mother” or “father” on documents, instead the titles to be used are “parent 1” and “parent 2,” so as to accomodate gay couples.
The amendment was passed in parliament as part of the country’s Schools of Trust law and aims to reduce the discrimination faced by same-sex parents.
