Rep. Introduces Bill Against Gay Families
By Advocate.com Editors
Rep. Randy Forbes, a Republican from Virginia, Thursday introduced the
Parental Title Protection Act, which would require federal agencies and
contractors to describe parents as “mother” and “father” on official
documents.
HRC Back Story blog reports on the antigay proposal, H.R. 635.
“In a press release, Forbes argues that ‘symbolism is important’ and that
his legislation is necessary to prevent even ‘subtle’ changes that ‘
undermine the traditional American family relationships that have served as
the bedrock of our nation since its inception.’”
Millions of children are being raised by same-sex partners in the United
States, where one in every three lesbians and one in every five gay men are
estimated to be parents. |
