WTF! "Mother" and "Father" to be Replaced by "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" on Government Forms

Via memeorandum I came across this story by Fox News:

The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.

“The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"

A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” The statement didn't note if it was for child applications only.
People who voted for Obama and the Democrats did indeed vote for a change in America- they voted for a brave new world where it is 'old' to have a mother and father, and where it is an 'improvement' to instead have 'parent 1' and 'parent 2'. The attack on the traditional family continues, and rather than a family structure built as God intended with a mother and a father parenting children who honor them we are having the government (provided for by taxpayers like you) push for a family structure where parent 1 and parent 2 have children who call them impersonal names like parent 1 and parent 2.

If this change was made so that those people who have two mothers or two fathers could feel more comfortable when filling out this form, then I recognize that and understand that. But the State Department says that this isn't the reason for the change:
Sprague said the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness.

“We find that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago,” she said.
It's a brave new world indeed. I guess now me and my wife are going to have to have that dreaded and uncomfortable discussion that we've been avoiding all these years- which one of us is Parent 1 and which one is Parent 2?
