this question realy stupified me especially because it’s voiced in an exasperated and offended tone that actually supposes that more than 90% of the population should’ve adjusted their behaviour years ago to avoid making what is a small faux pas to less than 10% of the population. the reason why the general populous has failed to replace ‘wife/husband’ with ‘partner’ in their day-to-day usage is because i could make a concious effort to use ‘partner’ in the context you described for ten years without ever saying it to a gay person. i don’t mean to lecture, but this is the type of conciet that damages the credibility of the gay and lesbian community amongst the straight community, i.e., the other 97% of the population. which is sad, because there’s pobably a hundred gay guys out there reading this who’d slap you stupid for being such a spoiled brat. THIS (not the other stuff like domestic partnerhood and adoption rights) is asking for special privleges.
