Israel: Gay-friendy ID cards introduced for children of same-sex parents

[King_David]

Israel has begun issuing new ID cards to children of same-sex parents – as previous cards only allowed for a ‘mother’ and a ‘father’.

The new cards – which can instead list two mothers or two fathers – came about after a number of gay families signed a petition addressed to the Interior Ministry, calling for the change.

The state has allowed same-sex parents to adopt their partner’s children since 2006, and legalised adoption for children not related to either parent in 2008.
