Britain's National Heallth Service  removes 'Dad' from parenting leaflets to avoid upsetting same-sex couples

We read:
"The NHS has removed the term "dad" from its childbirth guide after receiving a complaint that the leaflet was excluding same-sex parents.

The Ready Steady Baby pamphlet, which offers advice on pregnancy and the first year of parenthood, has been given to mums and dads-to-be for the last 14 years.

However, the 220-page guide will no longer refer to fathers after a complaint that claimed it was "not inclusive of people in same-sex relationships".

Instead, the leaflet will use the non-gender specific term "partner" in its latest revision.

Norman Wells, of the Family Education Trust, said the NHS was wrong to change the language in the booklet.  He said: "The NHS should not be squandering tax payers' money to advance the cause of a minority interest group.

"No matter how much effort is made to present positive images of families headed by same-sex couples, the fact remains it takes a man and a woman to create a child."

Hate to admit it, but at this point in how crazy the PC sissies are in the UK, that Shariah might be an improvement.

This is a continuation of the efforts by feminists to marginalize men.

Can't same-sex couples be a Dad and a Dad (who adopt of have kids from previous relationships), or is this actually female-chauvinism at work again?

Yes, two men can use a surrogate to have a baby, and there won't be a "mum" in that case, but that's not important right now because the prancing politically correct feminazis are offended by dad.

The US has its own incidents of PC madness. Luckily they are /mostly/ regional or local retards. With the more integrated UK the PC madness spreads more quickly and ruins more lives more quickly.

Hey what about DADDIES ROOMATE?

But interesting to note that the American Revolution didn't prevent the self-inflicted US Civil War, which was the most destructive war in world history until WWI (George III couldn't have managed that!).
