Within ten years of legalizing homosexual marriage, the words, husband and wife, will become politically incorrect.

The homosexuals will complain that those words offend their status as married couples and that everybody should be referred to as partners.

How about fag and fagette, depending upon which one prefers to pitch or catch on a particular day.

It already is. Listen carefully to people refer to "spouses", especially in the media, when referring to heterosexuals. Husband/Wife are already terms that have been marked for the p.c. trashcan.

I actually heard, when this MA thing started, a talking-head refer to "non-gay marriage"; as if the marriage of a man and woman were the ones who needed a qualifier and "gay" marriage was the norm. That one freaked me out. Fortunately, I have not heard anyone do that again, but, I am also sure that they will.

Perhaps. Sometimes a heterosexual shackup honey is referred to as a "partner," though this seems to be more common outside of the U.S.

already done.

Have you not noticed how the words Mother and Farther have been replaced by the PC unisex "parent" a child does not have a mother and father, the child has "parents".
