Quote:I didn't say it was offensive. The people who wrote these bills did. Did you read the article? Also, why should 'husband' and 'wife' be changed? That's what a married man and woman are. And I've heard lesbian and gay men couples call each other husbands and wives. If there needs to be another word they wish to be called, such as spouse, then let them be called that. I don't see the point in changing the language to gender neutral words.

Are you really telling me that you don't understand why it should be changed, or have you just dug your heels in on the issue because you don't agree with why it would be necessary in the first place? I'm not trying to be facetious with my question either, I'm just trying to understand what your issue is with it being changed is, other than "because it's always been that way".
