Ok. Next time someone tweets something they better say "husband/wife" every time. Otherwise people will think they hate men/women! Good to know.
That's why there are neutral words like partner
Tbf, even if he'd have used "partner," those who want to read misogyny into things still will, they can just be shut-the-fuck-up with a "hey you don't know, maybe he's gay."
You're still right though, he should put himself in that position so people can't use it to manufacture outrage.
