"My family and I went to see bears at Yosemite. It was so exciting! Can you point to Yosemite on a map?"

  Just because a thing can be expressed in different words does not mean everyone always has the awareness to choose words that are politically desirable at every single point of their lives - especially when you are trying to teach children to use precise language (family implies a group of more than two people), and when identical similar language is perfectly ok if you have the right set of genitalia. I am not arguing for teaching toddlers about homosexual BDSM culture here. I just think that particular law is overreaching its goals, possibly to stroke the egos of religious zealots.

    I just don’t see how a teacher mentioning a same sex spouse is obviously violating the law in the way you’re worried about.

  Which is more likely to start a controversy and trigger the law? A teacher saying that she and her husband went to a Christmas parade or a woman saying her and her wife went to a Pride parade?
