And a new bill that unanimously (keep that in mind—unanimously) passed the Massachusetts house just highlights another layer of the brokenness that comes from leaving behind God’s design for marriage, gender, and sexuality. Apparently, this bill is designed to make it easier for LGBTQ couples specifically (but they say it impacts everyone) to establish “parentage rights” so that a non-biological parent can be considered the parent of a child without having to go through the formal adoption process.

You can view the video here. Using a child’s shadow as a symbol of his sexual identity, it is designed to awaken the idea that he might really be a girl instead of a boy. At first, the character’s grumpy-looking father frowns on the idea of cross-dressing but ends up putting on a dress himself, validating the child’s fantasy.
