In reply to the discussion: I can't believe that Greenwald would do [View all]Summer Hathaway
(2,770 posts)whether the term "lover" has an appropriate use in one situation as opposed to another, or is socially acceptable when applied to anyone.
The poster in question insisted that the term "lover" was a homophobic slur - which is ridiculous on its face.
It was not a term I used, BTW - it was used by another poster. When I pointed out that it is word that has nothing to do with being heterosexual or homosexual, I was called a homophobe.
Now that you're finished lecturing me about something that had nothing to do with the discussion, perhaps you can point out to the poster in question that "lover" has nothing to do with ones sexual orientation. If it did, you wouldn't have cited the examples you used re the Obamas or the Bidens - who are both heterosexual couples.
