So now, jump fast forward to last Friday.

That's when the Spanish government announced a ministerial order that new
births would have to be registered at the State Civil Registries in the
Family Book under the headings of Parent (progenitor) A, and Parent
(progenitor) B.

In other words, the terms "Father" and "Mother" were to be no longer used.

In an unwitting move, Spain's government last week provided strong proof
that same-sex marriages really are anti-family.

By now, most readers know that the Spanish government passed legislation
last year making same-sex marriages legal. What most people probably don't
realize is that since the Socialist government passed that legislation th=

hasn't been a run on gay couples seeking to get hitched.

Of course to read the press, one wouldn't know that gay marriages in Spain
aren't that popular. Perhaps that is because the media seems to focus on a
few isolated high-profile cases - leaving the general impression for the
casual reader that same-sex marriages are as numerous as pebbles on a
seashore.

However, despite the reported popularity of same-sex marriages, according=

some reports only around 400 couples have so far bothered to get married =

Spain.

Despite opposition from the Church and pro-family groups, the government =

continually turned a deaf ear to the needs of traditional families, in fa=

of fringe politics. The argument, according to the Socialists, is that the
family has changed with the times, and so has marriage. In the end,
legislation was approved not only allowing homosexual couples to marry, b=

to also adopt children.

Ironically, the Socialist government claims that although it pushed throu=

legislation to benefit a small minority of the population - and in the
process changed the definition of marriage - that this could in no way be
construed as an attack on the traditional family. Indeed, the government
claims that it is in truth pro-family.

So now, jump fast forward to last Friday.

That's when the Spanish government announced a ministerial order that new
births would have to be registered at the State Civil Registries in the
Family Book under the headings of Parent (progenitor) A, and Parent
(progenitor) B.

In other words, the terms "Father" and "Mother" were to be no longer used.

In Spain, marriages, births and deaths are all recorded at Civil Registri=

with most of those actions being noted in a Family Book (Libro de Familia=

While the example isn't perfect, think of the Family Book as an extended
birth certificate.

Juan Fernando L=F3pez Aguilar, Spanish Minister of Justice, excused the
ministerial order by claiming since the government modified "the status of
civil marriages, to allow the union of same-sex couples, it was necessary
for a new format for the Family Book (Libro de Familia) and one that used
terms such as "Parent A" and "Parent B" instead of "Father" and "Mother."

That's right. To match up it's same-sex marriage legislation to the Civil
Registry, the government deemed that Spaniards could no longer qualify
themselves as either "Fathers" or "Mothers" of their children.

Since last Friday, the government has backpedaled a bit.

Now the Socialists claim that the traditional Family Book model will
co-exist beside a new model that incorporates the Parent A, Parent B
ministerial order. The government says that these two models are a mirror=

modern society. It should be noted that possibility wasn't mentioned - and
one suspects it's just been invented - when the ministerial order was
published in the Official State Bulletin (BOE), and which only specified
that the "expression 'father' will be substituted for "Parent A" and the
expression 'mother' for "Parent B."

Besides the curious labelling of "Fathers" and "Mothers", the BOE text not
once mentioned an additional Family Book - although it does suggest that
there could be modifications to the initially approved order - and was qu=

tacit in its modifying of the current model.

Not only do we have a new, anti-natural law, anti-historical definition of
marriage in Spain, but we are now in danger of having relegated "Fathers"
and "Mothers" to being nothing more than expressions. And this is the pol=

from a "pro-family government"?

Let Spain be a warning to those countries and individuals contemplating
same-sex marriage legislation. There is no slippery slope when playing wi=

society's most important element: the family. The desire to enact such
legislation doesn't just stop at redefining marriage, but the very essence
of what is a family - a mother and a father.

But the story doesn't end here.

It appears that various Lesbian groups in Spain are opposed to the
government's latest registry plans.

Why?

It seems they don't like the term progenitor (parent).

To understand, one has to understand that many words in Spanish - and oth=

languages - have gender. That's right. Some words are masculine, and othe=

are feminine.

The government's proposal, progenitor, is masculine. Meaning, according to
the Lesbian groups, that the term wouldn't recognize their feminine side.
They feel discriminated against. To which I say welcome aboard, so do I.

The Lesbian groups suggest using Progenitor (masculine) A, and Progenitora
(feminine) B.

At this stage, why not just call both parties progenitoras (plural), or
while we are at it, why not facilitators. After all, nowadays mothers and
fathers in Spain are nothing more than outdated, endangered expressions.
