Standardized birth certificate erases 'indignity' for gay parents

by Stephen Smith,/ February 16, 2011 / Boston Globe

A move by Massachusetts health regulators to standardize birth certificates means that gay and lesbian couples will no longer have to scratch out the "mother" or "father" designation on the forms and replace it with "co-parent" or "second parent."

Instead, new, electronic documents provide two boxes, one labeled "mother/parent," the other "father/parent."

John Auerbach, the state's public health commissioner, said he hopes the standardized form will prove "more sensitive to the circumstances of the family and to the children." The state estimates that same-sex couples account for about 200 births or adoptions annually.

Massachusetts law has recognized gay and lesbian parents for nearly two decades, said Kara Suffredini, executive director of MassEquality, a gay rights organization. "And yet they've continued to suffer the indignity of having their family formation be invisible on a fundamental form like a birth certificate," Suffredini said. "It's about time that comes to an end."

The president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, which fought same-sex marriage, said the move by Governor Deval Patrick's administration was predictable. "The current administration has always promoted same-sex marriage and the results of same-sex marriage," said Kris Mineau, the institute's president.

Until now, Massachusetts, with its fiercely protected tradition of local rule, has had a patchwork of birth certificate forms. Each city or town could have its own. Some were kept electronically, some on paper. The state estimates that as many as 700 variations on the birth certificate existed in the state's 351 cities and towns.

With the standardized document, all hospitals by the end of March are expected to be able to collect the information electronically and transmit it to cities, towns, and the state. Regulators said they hope the change will assure greater consistency and allow for collection of more reliable data on births.

Auerbach recalled years ago having to make a revision to his son's birth certificate. "I remember being at the window where the woman was crossing it out and writing the change," he said. "That was just the way things were done. It wasn't pretty."

Guilty Plea in Hate Crime Attack at Landmark NYC Gay Bar
by Barry Leibowitz; Feb 16, 2011; CBS NEWS/AP

A man accused of spitting anti-gay and racist insults while attacking a patron at one of New York City's oldest gay bars has pleaded guilty to assault as a hate crime and other charges.

Frederick Giunta entered his plea Tuesday in the October attack at Julius. It occurred at a Manhattan tavern where a 1966 "sip-in" marked an early moment in the gay-rights movement.

The 45-year-old Giunta is expected to receive a 3 1/2-year prison sentence. His lawyer, Hershel Katz, says Giunta's behavior stemmed from drunkenness, not malice.

Police say the victim was trying to defuse a dispute between Giunta and another customer when Giunta hit the victim in the face and used the epithets.

Giunta also pleaded guilty to attempted robbery for grabbing at a man's wallet at another bar.

Search for attackers of gay man
TAMARAC, Fla., Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Florida authorities are asking the public to help them locate three suspects in the Dec. 30 beating of a 24-year-old gay man in Tamarac.

The Broward County Sheriff's Department has released a surveillance video showing one of the attack suspects leaving a drugstore shortly before the incident occurred, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday.

The beating victim, Mark Samnath, said three men filmed themselves punching him in the face after they called him "fagg-t" and "gay boy."

Samnath, who is openly gay, is convinced his sexual orientation motivated the attack that left him emotionally scarred, the newspaper reported.

Under Florida law classifying the attack as a hate crime elevates it from a third-degree felony to a second-degree felony battery, the sheriff's office said.

Conviction carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Anyone with information about the attack should contact the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
