LONDON, ENGLAND – A proposal will allow same-sex parents to be included in the revised application for a British passport.
According to the BBC, the new forms include “parent one” and “parent two.” The terms “mother” and “father” are expected to be removed from the application by the end of the year. The proposals also include sex-free passports to allow transgender people to opt out of identifying themselves as either male or female.
Passport officials say the change of terms will ensure passports are issued safely to the right person.
