NY Bishops Urge Hochul to Veto Bill That ‘Mocks the Foundation of the Family’

  • The New York State Legislature passed a bill replacing the words 'mother' and 'father' with gender-neutral terms like 'gestating parent' and 'non-gestating parent' in some laws, and it now awaits Governor Kathy Hochul's decision.
  • Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti and the Town Board passed a resolution to preserve the use of 'mother' and 'father' in town codes in response to the state bill.
  • Supporters argue the bill modernizes family law by making language more inclusive for diverse families and reflects recommendations from New York’s family court system.
  • Opponents, including local officials and the New York State Catholic Conference, say changing these terms undermines traditional family values and is unnecessary political pandering.
