Well, at one tony private school in New York City, a homosexual man persuaded the school to drop any mention or celebration of Mother's Day - why - because, he claimed, it was 'discriminatory' and unfair to homosexual parents. These people won't stop until any mention of or reverence for the traditional family has been removed from the public sphere. Truly, it is they who are the prejudiced and bigoted.

Actually, both are true. The UN pressured China to legalize prostitution because it's already so rampant, they want the 'sex workers' to be able to organize and collect state benefits. And they released a study on Belarus suggesting that, among other things, the country scale back (not necessarily cancel) its observation of Mother's Day because there is 'too much focus on motherhood as the main societally accepted lifestyle choice for women,' or some crap like that. I don't remember the exact quote, but I'll bet you can find it here at FR.
