Dems replace ‘mother’ with ‘gestating parent’ in latest woke rewrite of NY law
NY Post ^ | 06/03/2026 | Vaughn Golden

Mom’s not the word.

New York state Democrats passed a bill to erase words like “mother” and “father” from Family Court Law — in the latest gender-neutral rewriting in the state’s official records.

“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” and “paternity” proceedings would become “parentage” proceedings under the woke bill that was rammed through both houses of the state legislature this week.

A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and goes to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

Some members of the Democrat-dominated legislature rolled their eyes as they signed off on the clunky new phrasing, as the legislative session comes to a close for the fiscal year.

“I have a word we can use for this, ‘unnecessary,'” one Democratic lawmaker told The Post.

Democrat infighting had delayed approval of the massive $268 billion state budget by nearly two months before it was passed last week.

Hochul, who proudly wears the moniker of New York’s “first mom governor,” dodged on saying whether she supported the gender-neutral rewrite.

Be inclusive. Make it “gestating entity”. Should cover all 86 genders.

my grown step daughters have nothing to do with their father for going on 10 years now, no calls for graduation, birthdays, nor even a dime for college, 100% their mom.

They call him the donor.

I just got used to using the locution “birthing person” and they change it up on me. It’s hard to keep up. So are we going to have a Gestating Parent’s Day next May?

Why do some of us continue to have respect for state and national office holders like these? This is a minor example of the harm they’re doing.

They need to replace “democrats” with “dildoes with feet.”

Now Catholics saying the rosary will have to say “Holy Mary, Gestating parent of God”?

LOL. I think “Dildoes with feet” has real possibilities.

Mothers are only “gestating” for 9 months before the birth of a child. Even if they have 4 children, they are only gestating for 4 9-month periods, with no gestation for the rest of their lives.

But they remain mothers for the rest of their lives!

Mothers are mothers and fathers are fathers. Bureaucrats and politicians who seek to change what parents are called are just hooey-slingers, who are captive to the gaysbian, “trans”, and “non-binary” crowd!
