[QUOTE=Prismatex;27275130]please explain without making my brain hurt why this is a bad decision[/QUOTE]
This topic exists because of it, doesn't it?
Personally, I just think they did it to be "politically correct".
gay people are such a nuisance

Uh, normally i'm on the "fuck political correctness" bandwagon, but this isn't political correctness. This is pretty much reasonable. What are they doing? Change a word on a form, not the term as we know it, it just allows for gays to be parents and sign these forms.
Oh wait, do you think gays should have rights? or do you still think that gay parents make gay kids, and that's somehow wrong(neither point is true).

They did it for bureaucratic efficiency.

That doesn't have anything to do with this story.
[QUOTE=Habsburg;27275261]What if both parents are dudes?[/QUOTE]
Then it's completely arbitrary anyway, and the 1-2 thing just appears to be some psuedo ranking system.
Then change it to Parent 1 and Parent A :downs:

Let me ask you this, How do you identify one in order to give them rights? Women, Blacks, and ethnicites are more easily identifiable. Arguing that Gays should be able to marry is like arguing that an adult should be able to marry a child, a man should be able to marry as many women as he wants (and vice versa), and that people who love animals should be able to marry animals, All because of Love.
Contrary to popular belief, Love doesn't conquer all.
Now, should 2 people of the same gender be able to live together? Yes. Should they be able to serve in the army? Sure, just don't make your comrades uncomfortable around you. Should they be able to adopt? Just one, the other can still be a guardian though.
Should they be denied the Basic human rights of Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness? No way. But remember, only the pursuit is suppose to be guaranteed, never the result.

I'd say why is this such a big deal but it's only a big deal to Glaber and Fox, no one else really cares about it.
Afaik they've already done this in all countries who are part of the European Union. Or in Finland at least.
Who cares what they're called on a Passport. Only Christians with a chip on their shoulder would find this objectionable.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;27275139]Parent 0 and parent 1 make me feels like I'm in an array or something.
"Parent[0] please present the passport for the child."[/QUOTE]
They should do this. Counting from 1 is for old people.
[QUOTE=BrickInHead;27274508]they should really do parent 0 and parent 1
parent 1 and 2 sounds like a ranking system and you just know the feminists are going to get up in arms about it and how it can be used to exploit women (which it can, really)[/QUOTE]
How about we have a section called "Parent(s)" and then a gap on the page to fill in the necessary info
Or will feminists fight over who gets the top space

[QUOTE=Glaber;27281925]Arguing that Gays should be able to marry is like arguing that an adult should be able to marry a child[/quote]
Children cannot consent
[QUOTE=Glaber;27281925]a man should be able to marry as many women as he wants (and vice versa)[/quote]
Yes absolutely.
[QUOTE=Glaber;27281925]and that people who love animals should be able to marry animals, All because of Love.[/quote]
Animals cannot consent
I'm baffled that the "If gays can marry than people will want to marry animals" argument still exists. :doh:
But everyglaber knows animals and gays are the same thing.
It's efficient enough, but it feels really strange, as if it's almost taking away the names of people and replacing them with numbers.
"Hey Work Unit #263, how was the game last night?"
(Yes I know this has nothing to do with names. Just felt the same.)

Except homosexuals are generally of age and it's generally a one to one marriage. It's not pedophilia, polygamy or bestiality because it's an equal relationship.
I honestly thought you were smarter than that.

I'm perfectly ok with someone marrying a dog if they can find a dog that can sign a marriage contract.

I hope you can't breathe in 5 minutes.
No, really. You just compared being gay to fucking an animal. That's so childish it rocks my mind. How the fuck can you be so immature? Gay people can't get married for what reason? Because "love" isn't good enough? You compared it to fucking a kid. Do you know how fucking wrong that is? Two consenting gay adults are NOTHING like a pedofile and a kid he's molesting. You're so fucking brain dead.
People still take glaber seriously?
