Who's god, yours, your neighbors god? Sorry, but keep your god to your self or expect others to call you out on it.

And that is your problem. Do not like gay sex, do not have gay sex. But it is not a perversion. What is perverted is people who want to force their god and beliefs on everyone else.

Parent fits either mother or father.

Whereas father does not fit at all in my family, but parent would.
You're the extreme exception, not the norm...

It is called simplyfying the forms, it is very simple to just have parent 1 and parent 2 rather than two forms. What difference does it make if it says mother or father. There is no big deal about it, just all the conservatives got their panties in a twist for no reason at all, they just want to squeel about it.

Within a few years, it will become improper to even mention the words "father" or "mother" in a public setting, because it will be viewed as you trying to force your conservative beliefs and agenda onto others.

Honor students will not only be cautioned against thanking Jesus Christ in their graduation speech, but also cautioned against thanking "mom and dad." If you think this is absurd, 25 years ago they would have thought banning students from thanking Jesus would have been absurd.

Of course I will judge and I will never find that there is equality in these two types of "sex" - My kind of sex is superior to your kind of sex...I have that right to discriminate - and I just did.
Oh come on, what are you, 10, grow up. More straight people practice anal sex than all gay men put together and not all gay men practice it. Your kind of sex is not superior. GROW UP.

According to the 2010 US census only 45% of 15-17 year olds have been raised by their biological parents together.

Why? I call myself a mother, so does my partner. We are both mothers.

How many of them are from single parent homes with stray fathers? In this case, Mother and Father would still suffice.

Not if the step father isn't the LEGAL father.
