Re: "gay husbandos"

So should they have said "the radio host couple of unspecified gender and sexuality" or something? Just to ease your easily aggrevated SJ mind?

1.) "Husbands", "couple", "boyfriends", "the radio guys who are sweet on each other". It's actually pretty easy to define that two people are romantically involved without needing to specify their sexuality. You wouldn't say "the cute straight couple" or "the adorable lesbian and her bisexual partner".

2.) "SJ"
This is quickly becoming a thought-terminating cliche, and it needs to die. You're saying I'm part of the social justice subculture because I commented about something that they (apparently) have also taken objection to. This makes it easy to dismiss my opinion on the basis that I'm "one of those".

3.) No, I'm not aggravated. I'm creeped out by another point in a trend.

Except that just saying "couple" could mean they're a straight couple, which they aren't. And that's part of what's nice about it - the fact that there is a gay couple in major roles who are portrayed in a positive fashion instead of being a joke or a running gag.

Maybe OP DOES like them together because they're gay. Maybe OP is gay themselves. As a bisexual person myself, seeing non-heterosexual canon couples in media makes me happy, and when I see them, you're damn right I'm going to point them out. Because I like seeing people like me treated as normal in the media.

Yes, this. Exactly.

This is entirely valid, and I cede your point. I hadn't considered that. Maybe I'm spending too much time on tumblr. :(

all of this. I don't have much of a problem colloquially calling couples a "gay couple," because that's really more about defining the nature of the relationship (that is, they're a couple of the same sex) without actually making assumptions about the sexualities of those involved. And as shallow as it may be, I also tend to like characters/couples more when they're not heterosexual for the same reason - it's awesome to see people like me being normalized in media.

I do have a problem with "husbandos." Are English words just not good enough for people? WTF.

I don't think that's shallow at all, I think it's perfectly natural to be happy when you see people who are like you in media.

LOL SJ troll. Nice try.

You responded to a comment that pointed out how "LOL SJW" is a way of dismissing something without having to think of a counterargument...by saying "LOL SJW" so you could dismiss that point without having to think of a counterargument. Well done. You're either a troll yourself or you really don't care. Neither is particularly admirable.
