So, who’s the “husband” and who’s the “wife?”

You can’t have two “yin’s” or two “yang’s.”

“Husband” and “wife” will now be synonymous?

Since when does AP get to determine words don’t mean what they actually mean?

Blatantly using language improperly, deliberately, to push an agenda.

What version of the Newspeak Dicionary are these people using?

The AP style book has to be exposed as a goebles tool of the left.

it establishes what is or is not crimethink laws.

There is no homosexual based marriage in a supermajority of the states and thus the style book is wrong in most states. In fact in some states forms that state otherwise or LEGAL DOCUMENTS that state otherwise are a crime.

Ahhhh? Isn’t ‘spouse’ a perfectly good non sexual specific word???

These dirtbags just do this kind of thing to piss off normal people.

Pitcher and Catcher aren’t politically correct.

I think AP needs more criticism. A husband is a male. A wife is a female.

Is it becoming obvious that same sex attraction isn’t normal and is most likely curable.

So Lincoln was supposed to have said

http://timpanogos.wordpress.com/2007/05/23/lincoln-quote-sourced-calfs-tail-not-dogs-tail/

If you call a calf’s tail a leg how many legs does it have?

The answer is, of course, 4, because as Lincoln pointed out, calling a thing something other than what it is doesn’t make it that thing.

This reminds me of an old PLAYBOY cartoon from 46 years ago.

A black student goes home to introduce his wife to the parents. The mother is crying on the dad’s shoulders.

The black son says, “But-Mom, I told you my wife was white!”

The “wife” was a simpering little white boy.

How do they know which guy bends over. Or conversely how do they know which woman is nicknamed Butch? Orwell was perhaps the most prescient man that ever lived.

I make it easy on myself and refer to each as the husbian. It’s sort of all-encompassing, yes?

husband/wife = pitcher/catcher. It probably depends on the day of the week. Look for the one with the smile.

I block TPM so I didn't see the whole article.

I think what AP has decided is they'll write, for example, Ellen DeGeneres' wife is Portia de Rossi and Portia de Rossi's wife is Ellen DeGeneres.

Well, this fits with Clive Davis’s book. He likes to pitch no matter what sex of the catcher. So he’s the husband. (sarcasm)
