I use it all the time, who is making this assumption?

Bigots, often. No offence to the person you are replying to (they said they default partner = same sex) but really it's mostly just people who refuse to broaden their worldview or accept neutral descriptive terms. Partner could mean any number of things and to assume it's just a same sex couple is ignorant.
