re: If someone uses the term “significant other” or “partner” do you assume they are gay?

I find that other cultures and countries use diff terms.

Like partner instead of spouse. Even though they are a hetero couple.


But then again I was at an LSU watch party at a friend's house and was talking to this guy and he brought up his partner. I just thought business partner but he was actually talking about his boyfriend.

So there you go.
