Has anyone noticed the use of the word "partner" instead of husband/wife? Maybe I am crazy but I see that online as well as hear that on tv. It just seems like another thing where the vast majority of people have to change something that most see as normal/common to accommodate a few.
That kind of reminds me of an actress who was speaking at the college graduation at a women's college and told the women that they can be anything they wanted, achieve anything they wanted, or marry any man they wanted. This was in 05 so the attacks on her weren't many but a gay group did attack her for not including gays in they marrying part. Somebody on the radio said that people are free to live how they want but the fact of the matter is that heterosexuality is the norm in society, and to act like it isn't is absurd.
I'm a very much live and let live person, but I do find it ridiculous today with the whole diversity/inclusion obsession that we have pretend that small percentages of people make up a much larger amount or have to ignore basic reality.
That's a really neat piece of wisdom there. It's something I've gone through a lot as I got older. A lot of people seemed to judge me at times for that very thing. It wasn't until I put into my head that I am an adult. I've even questioned some critical people before, I have a job, I pay my bills, and I take care of things I'm responsible for, is that not what an adult is? Because I enjoy "kids" things for entertainment and haven't stuffed my inner child away in a box does not make me not an adult.
