"I now pronounce you partners, you may kiss each other" does NOT sound romantic.

And that's the point. Removal of romance and beauty.

A term that projects youthful energy is "juvenile?"

And I don't mean that jackass from India who keeps spraying his shit here.

I mean 18 or so is what anyone would call young and beautiful.

They're all pedophiles who fuck children anyway, and project by telling you that anyone who doesn't ONLY have the hots for dead-eggers is a pedophile. So who cares what they think?

I suspect that part of it might've also evolved as a result of the number of people in very long-term committed relationships that still opt to not get married. I know a fair number of people who've done this, and I could see why utilizing a different title for it might seem natural to them.

IE, "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" might sound insufficient after being together for so long (especially since those can be more synonymous with new or short term relationships) and descriptors like "lover" give off their own off-key vibes.

No, it fits. It means both are too immature to grow up and get married. They're just hooking up because they don't want the responsibility of commitment and monogamy. So "boyfriend"/"girlfriend" is a perfect representation of their paper-thin relationship, no matter how long it has been going on.

There's a fair number of perfectly mature reasons to at least be a little hesitant of committing to the *state *institution of marriage. Divorce law being amongst the top reasons.

What I find a little more troubling is how often such couples have absolutely zero interest in ever having any kids, ever. Ignoring the marriage variable, I think that's a little sad, and that they're depriving themselves of an important part of the human experience.

Oh definitely. Divorce laws make it where state recognised marriage is not viable. Even still, you can have common religious marriages outside of the court, but that's again assuming these are people are wanting to pair up for the right reasons, but a lot of people (judging by the relationship data) do not.

Oh totally. Like that's why I brought up the couples who also refuse to ever have children. That's almost always a solid indication that they're definitely trying to avoid growing up and becoming mature and full fledged adults.

That's where it actually came from. It wasn't solidarity with the gays, it was unmarried straight couples who wanted the recognition of their relationship without actually marrying. Gays adopted it from them, not the other way around. People forget that the LGBetc movement is the latecomer to the post-sexual revolution world. Unmarried heterosexual "partners" was a point of contention long before anyone gave a shit about what the gays thought.

It wasn't until the 90s that there was any serious consideration by the public of gay monogamy at all. That's when you really start seeing the concept of the domestic gay who "wants a relationship like yours, only gay." Prior to that, there was a common understanding that gay relationships were basically just playing at it, in reality being either sexually deviant men, or sexless dead-ends for troubled women. They didn't even have a use for the term until then, and it didn't find actual use in a gay context until the 00s with gay marriage.

The same people who call it juvenile have a nervous breakdown when they're asked to pick up a phone, so I don't see a reason to listen to literally anything they have to say.

They reject things that sound juvenile to pretend to be adults (or "adulting" as they like to say), yet act like children in every other way.

Next on the the allies' to do list is normalizing adult diapers. They're not true allies unless they shove things up their ass and give themselves incontinence.

It sickens me whenever people use this term because it's just confusing. I'm almost always left scratching my head whenever people use this completely nebulous and useless relationship term. I'm then usually forced to go look up to see who the person's "partner" is just to make sure I'm not supporting a faggot content creator.

You can always tell the people who are converged versus those who are not. The converged talk about their boyfriend/girlfriend in these opaque terms, which lets you know there is nothing serious about their relationship other than the person being there as a form of comfort to compensate for their loneliness. The right kind of people get married because they have long term goals and plan on attempting to sustain or proliferate their lineage, and these people refer to their significant other as their husband/wife, which is how it should be.

Partner was already normalized. It meant two people engaged in the same activity.

It does NOT mean “we screw eachother in the butt”. That has not, nor will it ever be, normal. If I hear anyone say “partner” instead of husband and wife I know they are either a faggot, libtard, or both

fuck you, random twitter fag. in a social context, partner used to mean an inseparable friend (ex: Miguel and Tulio from Road to El Dorado), NOT someone you want to fuck or marry.

Who is this, why should I care, and how did you find a tweet with 79 likes and zero replies?

I'm getting really tired of this "OMG LOOK AT THIS RANDOM PERSON DISAGREEING WITH US" doomerism. It's one thing when it's a megacorp or politician, but this is a literal nobody. Care about things that matter.

Of course the actual words are discouraged because they represent traditional families.

Even within your own retarded, reality-denying framework, you'd still 'know' their gender, you'd just be provably wrong. The left is so detached from reality you can't even keep track of your own delusions.

The fact you had to include that point of clarity shows how full of shit you are.

A partner in the romantic sense is you and another person only. Everyone else is excluded from it.

My wild guess is that it's a symptom of people who don't want to feel "old" so they use partner instead of husband/wife. Because being a husband/wife is what their parents did.

It's stupid af

This person is either a cluster b pretending to be autistic or an autist who was taught by cluster b's. No way an autist figures out how to be such a snide little passive-aggressive bitch on their own.
