The "Really" File - (Motherless Mother's Day Cards?)

A SIGN OF THE TIMES....Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; ...But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed....From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luke 17:28-30/Matthew 4:17

"Waitrose is selling gender-neutral Mother’s Day cards as retailers reduce their use of the M-word to make today’s celebration more
transgender inclusive”, write Andrew Gilligan and Vincent Wood.

The supermarket chain is selling a “Happy You Day” card in its Mother’s Day range in which the word “mother” does not appear.
Waitrose said the move was aimed at “broadening out who the cards can go to, whether it’s grandmas or transgender mums”. Traditional cards are still sold.


From the "Really" File
Waitrose has been joined by other retailers, including Scribbler, whose Mother’s Day offerings include a “Two mums are better than one” card for gay couples and a “Dad, thanks for being the most amazing mum” card.

The changes come after calls by some trans activists to rename Mother’s Day…"
