When I was first wrapping my head around the concept of privilege, one of the really good things that was pointed out to me was that no one is seeking to take anything away from anyone. No one is seeking to tell people in heterosexual relationships that they shouldn't be able to casually express their relationship status but instead we're looking for everyone to experience that privilege. It will cease to become a privilege because it's something that everyone has, not something no one does.
