Why is it a ridiculous stance?
If you can redefine words to suit your needs,
I can do so, as well. The meaning was clear.
You're calling someone a mom, just because the couple are gay
Mom and mother mean prettty much the same thing to me
No. I'm looking at it as a role, rather than as
a biological mother. By your definition, one
couldn't have an adopted mother, I think.
Or, is the role of 'mother' so gender specific
that it can't be defined according to the
tastes of the people involved? THAT would
be hypocrisy.
