Only a possible $500 fine?
They should also be charged for the emergency services.

I actually had to look up gender reveal, (even though I have a 3rd grandkid on the way, male.) I immediately thought it had to do with some sort of LBGQ thing. I was imagining all sorts of things!

I googled also... ABC News website lists 58 genders and 5 sexes as of 2019 for the human race. I now understand why they have "gender study" classes and curriculum at all of our major universities and colleges.

It's hard to keep up sometimes.

Sometimes it's hard to even WANT to keep up

It's not "keeping up"-- its catching up.

These aren't new things. All of this existed long before social media.

I still don't understand how parents in 2020 can be so out-of-touch with the times as to hold a "gender-reveal" party when gender is a thing that the child will decide on their own at some point later in life.

@chumley
At what point did you decide? I remember when you were on the fence.

On a side note while driving up I-17 to go hiking I was behind one of those 15 passenger Chevy vans. It took me a sec, but it said...I identify as a Corvette

Words that if included in a HAZ post will spark discussion regardless of any context...

"gender", "gun", "cat".

This post was about a brush fire and less than three responses later it is somehow about gender identity.

I always heard it was millenials who were supposed to be bad at focusing...

Actually it was about stupidity at a gender reveal party which resulted in a fire.

Good thing it wasn't an ADULT gender reveal party or we'd be talking about flashing trench coats... or not.

@CannondaleKid

Thanks for the correction that was just rewording the headline of the article.

An idiot starting a brush fire still has nothing to do with gender identity.

Guess it's just something that y'all think about a lot. :P

You said CAT!

I'm not taking the bait! I'm going for a bicycle ride instead.

Dang it!

Well I tried...

Hope you had a good ride!

Remember, only YOU can prevent gender reveal parties!
