If you have a girlfriend is it batter to call her your
partner?

If you don't wanna get hit than refer her as your girlfriend.

Gays are partners. They know it's wrong and society will not accept them as a couple.

Bring it...

They're being politically correct so they don't offend the homophobes.

Ellen referred to Portia as her "partner" last night on TPCA while accepting her "I'm gay, you have to give me the award, award".

And anybody who doesn't think the TPCA is a load of garbage, why weren't there hardly any "also rans" in the crowd? They tell people wayyyyyyy ahead that THEY are going to win!

Because they feel as if their relationships is not about whom belongs to whom and specified rules and regulations brought on by society which hampers heterosexual relationships but more of a commitment between the two. So instead of saying "He's my boyfriend and he's my boyfriend" they say "We are partners".








P.s yes I am talking out of my ass....

To me GF and BF sound quite ridiculous past a certain age, but I don't have better suggestions.
