Girlfriend/Boyfriend is someone you're just with right now, but to me it's not a strong commitment. Husband/wife is someone you're legally married to. Some of my gay friends will use the term anyway out of spite. Some refuse to use the term until it is legally recognized. Significant other is just dumb. I don't see homosexuality as a negative, so I see no stigma with the word. If it makes other people uncomfortable, that's something they need to come to terms with. "Politically correct" has nothing to do with it. -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Dreamweaver with Homesite Plus from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=54 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:143526 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
