We see conservatives complain about teachers' sexuality being "shoved down their throat".

It was never about being against their sexuality, it's being against anything outside of the heteronormative ideal of husband, wife and children. Saying partner could be a way of hiding some kind of "degeneracy", like not being straight or even having multiple partners.

I use partner because it's exhausting explaining to people that I have a wife and a girlfriend and we're a throuple and fine. The amount of people who get upset and pry in your personal business when you drop a hint of being different is ridiculous. Like one day at work one of my coworkers caught me saying girlfriend knowing I have a wife, and started playing 20 questions. What business is it of yours who I'm with or how we live our lives.
