The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.

“The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"

A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” The statement didn't note if it was for child applications only.

The State Department said the new passport applications, not yet available to the public, will be available online soon.

What's your point? A stepfather is not the biological father nor is he the adoptive father.

I don't see the controversy.

He's got to be outraged about something...FauxNews is an endless supply for some people...

Heat LJ! You heard the new faux news' tag line right? Faux news - feed the stupidity....

Sounds good to me. Thanks State Department.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention the even bigger outrage about US passports.

The word "Kenya" no longer appears on US passports. It has been replaced with "Hawaii".

Only for those born in Hawaii and not Kenya... rofllol rofllol

I post these things because they are news reports that you might not get to see by reading the Mainstream media news. Not all of them are controversial, but I can always depend on some of you to complain.

We are now accommodating the same sex adoptive parents and are showing how compassionate we are. Aren't you pleased????

Yes... Actually, I am.

Yes, this is a good progress.
