New California Law: marriages can be ‘spouse and spouse’; ‘husband and wife’ is biased language

Society took another step forward to becoming “gender free” with new legislation on the west coast. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in California last week that allows same-sex couples to be pronounced “spouse and spouse.”

The new measure strikes from the state’s family code the references to marriage as a union “between a man and a woman” and replaces the terms “husband” and “wife” with the term “spouse” throughout state ordinances

National Organization for Marriage argued that the law represents “further proof that redefining marriage is not simply about ‘equality’ or expanding the institution to include more kinds of relationships; it is about fundamentally altering the meaning of the institution itself, and discarding terms like ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ to the ash heap of history.”
