Eh? Does he even know what paternity means? The man's an idiot.
The consultation response, signed off by Mr Dyer and his deputy, also took issue with a new definition of sexual orientation, which states that a lesbian woman or a gay man is someone attracted to someone of the same sex.
The council complained that this means that two biological men in a relationship would be “wrongly” categorised as gay.
“The revised wording of this section introduces confusion by defining sexual orientation only in relation to biological sex, rather than the affirmed gender of a partner,” Bristol council wrote.
“For instance, under this framing, a heterosexual man in a relationship with a trans woman could be wrongly categorised as gay, solely because of his partner’s sex assigned at birth.
“This erases the affirmed gender of trans people and mischaracterises the orientation of their partners. Sexual orientation is about patterns of attraction, including attraction to people of a particular gender – not just anatomy or birth sex.”
They've really drunk the KoolAid, this lot.
