Is this homophobia or is there some other reason to not like the term partner?

[-] Secret_Music@piefed.blahaj.zone 109 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty sure it's homophobia. Or just general conformist bigotry because it's not like heterosexual couples couldn't use the word too if they wanted.

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 20 points 3 weeks ago

Well, they do.

I realised it could also be a sex before marriage thing

[-] Ethalis@jlai.lu 21 points 3 weeks ago

I think it's both, or rather that the word "partner" doesn't fit in their very narrow view of acceptable relationships (heterosexual marriage)

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

I like the term buddy, because it’s all about the buddy system

[-] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

it's homophobia and also a lot of traditional straight people don't see their partner as an equal
