Change the title of the president's spouse to a more gender neutral 'First Spouse'

Created by B.C. on February 17, 2016

The title for the president's spouse should not be gender specific. It is offensive that we have such a high profile title that restricts an individual to a gender. By changing the title to 'First Spouse' we can ensure that no spouse or partner will ever be forced to identify with a gender. This will ensure that we do not invade on any person's liberties and will not create an embarrassing situation when we finally get past our prejudiced ways and elect our first president who is in a same-sex marriage or who is a transgender individual
