Is this homophobia or is there some other reason to not like the term partner?

    Pretty sure it's homophobia. Or just general conformist bigotry because it's not like heterosexual couples couldn't use the word too if they wanted.

    Conservatives don't like their traditions challenged with the acknowledgement of alternatives. They'll vaguely grumble about the weakening of "social foundations" or some other social myth. They're insecure & need society to validate their myths.
