Massachusetts Senate Unanimously Approves Bill Expanding Legal Definition of Parent for LGBTQ Parents
Jul 31, 2024, 07:06 AM
Massachusetts senators have unanimously approved legislation that expands the legal definition of a parent, which is seen as a significant win for LGBTQ parents. The bill, known as #H4750, aims to provide legal parentage equality by removing gender-specific terms from birth certificates. The terms 'father' and 'mother' will be replaced with 'other parent' and 'person who gave birth,' respectively. This legislative change is intended to ensure that parents without genetic ties to their children are legally recognized. The Massachusetts Senate described the updated parentage law as 'incredibly overdue.'
