The municipal government of the city of Venice, Italy has passed a law banning the terms “mother” and “father on forms parents must fill out to gain a place for their children at publicly funded day care and kindergartens.

The newspaper, Corriere del Veneto, reports that the terms will be replaced by “parent 1” and “parent 2”. The change has not been popular, however, and Seibezzi has lodged a complaint with police against comments posted to a social media platform that she says were threatening.

And the movement toward total societal insanity continues. I figure Father's Day and Mother's Day will both be criminalized before too long.

adding an alternative is dumb enough but to actually ban “mother” and “father” is fascist

Man, there are leftists everywhere in the world screwing things up. They’re the worst pestilence to hit mankind next to the bubonic plague.

As hard as the leftists try they can only rub out human traits on a piece of paper.

Having been to Italy more than I want to, this seems about right. The men wear skinny jeans and purses. Just saying

It is little comfort to know that the madness of Political Correctness is not confined to the USA.

Has the entire western world come unhinged?

Is Russia one of the last bastions of traditional mores and morality?

I’m betting the only time these cretins cry out to the Lord is when they’re getting sodomized by their significant other.

Satan’s been a busy little bee... between the Mohammadans and the Socialists giving him a big hand.

All we want to do is come out of the closet and be left alone to be ourselves...

That was the stated objective.

Now it's demanding that mom and dad no longer exist.

This angers me considerably.

Which part of Italy? If it’s Rome, sure, they mostly dress like fags there.

Every one knows “Parent 1” means the father, and “Parent 2” means the mother. Just saying.
