MADISON, Wisc. (WDJT) Gov. Tony Evers on Monday, June 28, with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) announced that beginning July 1, 2021, Wisconsin parents will have a new, gender-neutral option for identifying the parents of a child.
According to a news release, birth forms used to generate birth certificates will be updated to include an option for “parent-parent,” in addition to “mother-father.” This change reflects the Administration’s commitment to gender-neutral terminology and recognizing that families are diverse and should all be recognized and valued in state systems.
“This change reflects my and my administration’s commitment to gender-neutral terminology and to recognizing that Wisconsin families are diverse and should be valued and respected,” said Gov. Evers. “I am glad to see this change being made as we continue to update our state policies and procedures to better reflect the Wisconsinites we serve.”
