Pauline Hanson has warned legalising same-sex marriage could result in a ban on children calling their parents “mum and dad”.

9 news have shared Senator Pauline Hanson warned people that changes to marriage equality laws could soon mean school children would be banned from calling their parents “mum and dad” so as not to offend the children of same-sex couples.

Recently early childhood activist, Dr Red Ruby Scarlet was pushing for Father’s Day to be renamed to  ‘Special Person’s Day’ so children without fathers aren’t offended.

Mother’s Day surely will closely follow scrutinisation as well.

We know the response Woolworths received after daring to sell an inclusive “Special person” cake for Father’s Day recently.

Many shoppers vowed to never shop at the retail giant again.

How can we be more inclusive though?

New anti-vilification laws make it an offence to vilify, intimidate or threaten to cause harm to a person on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status or religious conviction during the survey.

  • Speaking of mums and dads – where have the real mum stories gone? I haven’t been on here for a while and they seem to have disappeared. How long have they been gone for? I submitted this as a question to be put in the Q and A section, but I don’t think it got published. I really enjoyed reading about the real life stories of other mums. It made the site more interconnected. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with its current state, just that I miss them and wonder how long they have been gone for?

  • We are becoming over the top about not offending people… it offends me that they want to do away with the “traditional” titles of Father’s Day etc…. where do you draw the line?

  • I very much doubt if this will be the case. I know from several same sex couples that they’re proud to called both “mum” as a couple (glad to carry that title and glad to be a mum).

  • Life is already complicated. Some people like to create problems that don’t even exist yet.


    • I agree with your comment too – why make dramas and problems. There are catastrophic events in this world and why add another layer.
