: Modernizing traditional Marriage Application Web Form We have an issue in our company right now where gay people are complaining that our forms are not "gay friendly" we have a wedding registry
We have an issue in our company right now where gay people are complaining that our forms are not "gay friendly" we have a wedding registry page where it says groom and bride but they want a different way of presenting it so that it would be acceptable by that demographic. Any good suggestions on how we handle this? (Hope no one gets offended, Its a legitimate question and were actually dealing with this right now)
Here is a screenshot of the form

Have Bride/Groom in a drop down in front of the 2 input fields for first & last name. Have the form default to the hetero configuration (i.e. one line has bride preselected and one line has groom preselected) so the majority of users (no slight on homosexual couples, it's just statistics) don't have to change the form
EDIT: Similiar to @Narveson 's answer, but with bride/groom drop downs in front of the name inputs instead of "name of spouse"
EDIT EDIT: I guess its not even relevant whether a person is a bride or a groom for the purpose of the form, I don't imagine you do anything meaningful with the gender information?
There's no real standard or perfect way of doing it. Some options:
First spouse
Second spouse
or
Party A
Party B
or
Partner A
Partner B
or
Bride/Groom
Bride/Groom
