the first straight person I ever heard use the word "partner" to describe a S.O. was one of my philosophy professors — radical, feminist, and very french — and it made me do a double-take on the othering of same-sex relationships

In that context, using "partner" to describe your heterosexual spouse sounded strange, awkward, even a little forced — a purposeful and political act. Times change, I guess, and in this respect, they changed for the better.

My old boss died in a helicopter crash, and the Slashdot article was full of homophobic comments because his blog referred to his wife as his "partner". (it ran on slashdot because the other victim of the crash was a noted Linux kernel hacker)

Wrong - not all change is for the better. You’re setting yourself up for a disappointment in life if you’re betting on this social progressive change going forward.
