well the term partner was being used so queer people didn't have to out themselves in unsafe environments, the term is not exclusive to lgbtq people, and the more it is used by everyone the safer queer people are to use it

Partner should be used by more people to normalize the language. I like how the point is neutralizing gendered language. It also makes it so when I say partner and date a non binary person, I don’t have to exhaust energy thinking “do I have to fucking explain gender to this person and how’re they going to act about it”

Hetero people can be life partners too
