Sorry but hetro relationships always sound a bit silly to me.
What do you mean you're "boyfriend-girlfriend?" Did you circle "yes" when he passed you a note that said "will you go out with me?"? Did you have to ask mum to drop you off with £20 so you could watch The Mario Movie together on your 3pm date?
"Husband-wife" is slightly better than "Mr and Mrs" but it's still giving "ringpop engagement on the playground" energy.
In comparison, gay people get "My partner", "we're lovers", "this is my significant other". Even "girlfriends" or "spouses" is so much better than "girlfriend-boyfriend" or "husband-wife"
You just can't tell me that the queer coded verisions aren't better.

Term coined: Moth lesbian
Originally coined 6/22/22 on twitter
“Moth lesbian: a lesbian who lives joyfully and unapologetically despite being seen as a pest. An inherently defiant term that refuses definition or restriction. We are as wide and as varied as moths! Flag colors based off the rosy maple moth (Drocampa rubicunda)
Moth lesbians deliberately defy explanation or attempts to define us. There are innumerable definitions of moth lesbian. Gatekeeping is antithetical to what it means to be us.
I chose moths to represent us because of how they are viewed as pests and unwanted while hiding such beautiful colors and interesting lives. Moth lesbian is for anyone who is living unapologetically or who wishes to. Moth lesbian is a rallying cry and a community.
I’ve put a lot of thought into meanings the past few months as I’ve created this. Subversion and inclusion are very important ideals to me as well as solidarity and queer joy.
I’ve also literally centered queer attraction to women.
The inclusion of trans and gender diverse lesbians is very deliberate&the language is chosen to include innumerable genders on the non-binary spectrum as well as cultural genders that do not neatly fit into nonbinary.”
Our counterpart qlm term, moth gay, can be found here
Credit is not necessary to use for personal use. If making your own flag or crediting coinage, please credit as “Clementine Nebulae,” “Clementine of the Nebulae System” or “The Nebulae System.” Clementine uses exclusively she/her pronouns.

The third stripe is a light pink/purple that almost can’t be told if it’s pink or purple. The fourth stripe is a goldenrod yellow and the fifth stripe a muted cream. End image description.]
[image ID second image: The same pink, purple, yellow, and cream flag as in the previous image with text layered over the stripes.
Top stripe/bright pink text reads: inclusive, subversive, and unapologetic
Second stripe purple pink text reads: defiance and empowerment
Middle stripe text reads: queer attraction to women
Yellow stripe text reads: community solidarity and queer joy in adversity
White/cream stripe text reads: trans and gender diverse lesbians
End image description.]

Okay not to be that person but I'm getting really sick and tired of hearing/seeing people be mean, so stop.
And yes, labels can be fluid and contradict each other sometimes <3
Bi lesbian is a valid sexuality
No hate on my dash.
Edit: Adding on real quick, nb people can be lesbians If you identify as a lesbian.

Hot take but while, yes, the labels and reasons queer people use said labels *can* be harmful, queer people are never going to be the ones at fault for the stigma around our own identities. And if the only reason you find a label bad is *because* "it gives homophobes/transphobes/etc. Fuel" maybe you should reconsider why queer people should have to change our identities to cater to bigots so they don't use our existence to hurt other queer people.

idk why I’m remembering this now but I’m just thinking abt how one of the few times I went to my high school’s gsa I was questioning my gender, and one of the first things they did was go around and have ppl share names and pronouns, but when I politely declined to share my pronouns they refused to move on and called me disrespectful for not wanting to share my pronouns. like it’s great to not assume peoples pronouns and I understand they didn’t want to assume mine, but forcing someone to share pronouns when they are clearly uncomfortable doing so is not great, especially when you are trying to create a safe space for people who are not secure in their gender identity!
