It's interesting to me that this release refers to Miranda as Greenwald's husband, when everywhere else I'd seen the term "partner" used (including by Greenwald himself). What's different here? The emphasis on the legal relation being used as a means to underscore the abuse? How might this be different if he was just his boyfriend?
- olalonde 13y agoI might be slow but until now I thought partner was being used as in business/work partner.
- cheald 13y agoI think the ambiguity is intentional; it keeps the drama of gay marriage off of Greenwald so as to not distract from the message he's carrying. However, I think it's a little cheesy to pull out the term "husband" when it's emotionally advantageous to do so. Even if it was just a business partner, harassing Greenwald's close associates would be just as heinous without the need to stoop to emotional manipulation.
