‘When two lesbians marry why does one wear a dress, and the other pants?’

Q: I am a straight middle-aged woman with dearly loved lesbian and transgender relatives and several close gay male friends, but I don’t know how to ask this question without getting someone mad at me. Why is it, when a lesbian couple marries, one wears a dress and the other wears pants (usually a tuxedo-like suit)? Every lesbian marriage I have attended or seen coverage of bears this out. Is there some reason for this? After all, when a gay male couple marries, neither partner ever feels required to dress like a woman. — Kris G., Alexandria

A: Well-intentioned questions are fair questions, and yours definitely falls into that category — although I’m glad you’re asking me and not some of your lesbian friends. It’s also timely, because June is the height of wedding season — and this June will probably become a historic one for same-sex couples when the Supreme Court issues its ruling on marriage equality.

That was a BS answer. Lesbian relationships generally mirror hetero relationships, but not always.. There butch lesbians, the man in the relationship, who generally have a manly appearance. Then there are lipstick lesbians. feminine in appearance, and the woman in the relationship. Sometimes butches and LL's hook up with there own persona, but generally not.

A friend of mine from high school and her partner both wore dresses to their celebration. They've been together for a long time, longer than many other marriages I've attended.

I have seen plenty where they both wore dresses.

Just think if everyone were gay the human race as we know it would would end.

Sad. Those people want to be treated normal but its obvious they can't be. People know you can hardly ask them a question without drama. Your own family can't even ask questions? Smdh. The gay community is just crazy.
