On December 22, the State Department announced that they would

Change.org, asking the State Department to change the form to say
“Parent” and “Parent.” Over 900 people signed, including, I

The Family Equality Council also deserves our hearty recognition
and thanks. They have led the effort for the passport change and
have been advocating hard for it in Washington.
