AfterEllen’s Chat Room: Getting Married to a Woman (Episode 1)

The internet is full of videos with lesbians explaining how or why or what we do to inquiring minds. Daytime TV is full of women (and sometimes lesbians!) who talk from a queer point of view on broad topics. But what we wanted to create with AfterEllen’s Chat Room was a place where women who date other women come together and answer questions about ex-girlfriends, friendships, family relationships and other topics that we have unique (and differing) perspectives on. We’ll have a different panel of lezsplainers (as we affectionally call them) every episode, sharing their own thoughts, ideas and experiences.

In the first episode, we are talking about getting hitched. We get real about the pros and cons of making it legal with another woman, and talk about why even some of the most serious of relationships don’t turn into marriage. Also, who is expected to propose, and now that marriage is legal in every state, is there more pressure than ever to get wifed up?

Meet this week’s LezSplainers:
