Yeah, I can totally understand that. Saying "partner" or "SO" shouldn't be an issue at all, it doesn't even require them to acknowledge your partner as your spouse, it only requires recognizing the special relationship you two share.
I'm hopeful that most of this type of thing comes from a place of ignorance instead of malice. But yeah, I don't have first-hand experience, the closest I have is an immigrant spouse, but the main conflict we have is neighbors "not understanding" them when they talk (my spouse's accent is very minor, and when we met, I thought they grew up here). That doesn't hold a candle to what other minorities go through day-to-day.
