I woudn't have thought so. Our society is generally still pretty homo-sensitive, if not actually homo-phobic at times, and I wouldn't think the press would have described them as a couple unless they were male and female or they had some evidence to back up the assumption that they were a gay couple.

With my holidaymakers I have reached the point now where I never attempt to label their relationships at all - I am very careful to avoid doing so - because these days one just never knows and it is very easy to cause offence. If my husband asks who we've got I just say how many adults/kids/males/females we have and leave it at that.
