Term for same sex husband

My fiancé is from Tianjin, I’m an ABT.

Wondering what the current term for a same sex husband is.

I was married before and I called him 先生 (xiān sheng) but my mom thought that implied I was the wife.

Based on google, 先生 (xiān sheng) is a commonly used term in the gay community for a guy’s husband.

丈夫 (Zhàngfū) feels even more heteronormative.

I’ve heard [對](https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=%E5%B0%8D)[象](https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary.php?define=%E8%B1%A1) (dui Xiang) too. But that feels like such a millennial and Gen Z thing where they say partner instead of boyfriend and girlfriend and reminds me of how the gay community had to use that word in the past before same sex marriage became legal in the US.

Would love some insight!
