Justice Ministry to update its forms, making them more LGBT-friendly
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAfter the Knesset voted down a law bill to make state forms more LGBT-friendly by replacing “Mother” and “Father” with “Parent 1” and “Parent 2,” the Justice Ministry says it is going ahead with the reform anyway on forms belonging to the ministry.
Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn is from Benny Gantz’s centrist Blue and White party, which supports laws promoting LGBT rights.
The ministry says the first forms in which the change will be implemented this week are a request for an inheritance order, a request for a civil union or to be added or removed from the civil union registry, a request for details about the property of absentees and a request to register a nonprofit.
