Maybe you didn't get the memo from 1954: Separate is not equal.

Did I SAY either way I thought that was wrong or right? It just seemed like a logical progression to me.

Technically, it should be Guardian #1 and Guardian #2 on the passport form I guess.

btw, maybe you should go back and reread my posts - I've neither b**ched nor whined about it as you put it.

What's funny is that they're still using the same lines that were used against other groups in the past. "Why should we change our cherished traditions for a small minority?", blah, blah, blah...

cherished traditions like oh.. I don't know.. slavery..
I mean the bible for christs sake spells out how to handle your slaves and how slaves should handle their masters...

the fact that people still have faith in that old rag is astonishing...

I've not followed that rule very well. When people impose it on me, well, some have regretted it.

If only more people concerned themselves with being good parents than what they are called on a government passport form....

I'm astonished by the responses to this. Some of you act as if your entire world is collapsing around you because of a change on the U.S. Passport application.
And I wonder how many of those who are over-reacting even HAVE a passport.

You don't need to HAVE a passport to be passportated.

Check out the 2nd law of portability.

A passport to the genderless liberal icon of a contrived Michael Jacksonian genome initiated by cultural encouragement.

Any resistance will be crushed by the Jacksonian theme, "They are ignorant." "They are ignorant."
