Sometimes as a member of the LGBTQA community, it is difficult to refer to relationships without giving away your sexuality (which you may not want to do.) What are some gender neutral terms that you've used?

* Signifigant Other
*Lover (this is a favorite of mine. I like how old fashioned and honest it is)
* Zer/Zim?


What do you use?

I don't know. If you're living with them, couldn't you call them your "roommate"?

Rosie has a hard time because everyone knows she's married, but I'm 3rd gendered and hate modern gender neutral pronouns.

I do to, but I wouldn't mind some gender neutral pronouns.

I think I'm more likely to use the singular "they/ them" than the Zim/Zer.

I was asking something aside from boyfriend or girlfriend. Something that doesn't automaticly give away your sexuality to people you don't care to know. Or if your partner is Agender/Genderqueer/Third gender.
