If this were happening in the USA, how would you react?
I could see using all 3 words; Mother, Father, and Parents depending on the situation, but doing away with Mother and Father just seems like overkill to me. Having a Mother and a Father is important to me personally, and I do not like the idea of having that distinction taken away on official or unofficial documents.

Is this a situation where the rights of the minority are trampling the rights of the majority?
