Words ‘husband, wife’ now illegal in California

What next?

Um...you probably haven't seen.it discussed because the failed, flaky state of CA has removed "husband" and "wife" in favor of "spouse" in state codes. Big deal.

I don't know about you, but nobody tells this little girl which words to use.

Banishing Moonbeam to Mexico is a great idea.

Despite language, spouse, husband, wife...they already can. Gay marriage is legal.

Ingsoc. Newspeak. Thoughtcrime. The Inner Party, Outer Party. Proles. We don't even recognize that this is what's happening. Just as we're supposed to not.

The purpose is to make people not know and completely forget marriage. If necessary the word marriage itself will disappear.

Male, female, man, woman are being redefined as well. Instead of being comprehensive they are now just end points on a continuum. They had their day but now get in the way of control. So they're on the way out, too.

Take away the words, redefine them and thought will follow.

Let me see if I have this right: The purpose of decades' worth of fight on part of same-sex couples to be allowed to take part in the privileges that come with marriage is actually a sinister plot to make people "forget about marriage"? That's not even remotely logical.

It seems they also need to redefine parentage. 'Father' and 'mother' should be replaced by just 'parents'.

You're not going to comment on the fact that your OP was a complete fabrication?
