Oh yeah...I forgot....."spouse" in your world.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Another Biblical example of "confusion" :
An article might read thus:
"Jane and her wife Diane.....", or "Diane and her wife Jane...."
"John and his husband Roy.....", or "Roy and his husband John....."
So which of these confused souls is the wife, and which is the husband? If they adopt kids, which is the Mom, or which is the Dad?
Strive, thrive...not much difference where you're concerned. You strive
for flattery because you thrive on it.
